Which of the following statements is true about the nucleus?
a) only neutrons hold the nucleus together
b) only the strong nuclear force holds the nucleus together
c) the presence of neutrons , the strong nuclear force , and the residual strong force hold the nucleus together.
d) the strong nuclear force and the residual strong force hold the nucleus together

B) Only the strong nuclear force holds the nucleus together

Explanation:

Nuclei are held together by the Strong nuclear force, this is a force that binds together the protons to the neutrons in the nucleus, the strong nuclear force has a field force the size of the nucleus and then it works as a repulsive force towards the electrons.

the answer is yes

it has kinetic energy

reason

an object has kinetic energy when you stop the force carrying it, the object will stay in motion.
