Which of the following statements about the nuclear strong force is true?
the strength of the nuclear strong force depends on the charge of the atom
the nuclear strong force drops to practically nothing at large distances
the nuclear strong force is responsible for one flavor (type) of quark turning into another flavor (type)
the nuclear strong force is responsible for the sun's nuclear fission process

2, the nuclear strong force drops to practically nothing at large distances.

Explanation: The protons and neutrons in the nucleus share subatomic particles called pions. This exchange is what keeps the protons and neutrons stuck together in the nucleus. Despite the strong force being the strongest force, it has a very small range. This is because pions have very short lifespans. So, the strong force would have literally no effect at large distances.

Hope that helped! :)

a.) is the correct answer.

explanation:

the independent variable, or the one that is intentionally manipulated is the speed.
