To give you a helpful answer, please clarify your question. For example, are you asking about:
* Gravitational force? Every bit of matter exerts a gravitational force on every other bit of matter in the universe. This force is proportional to the mass of each object and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
* Electromagnetic force? Matter can also exert electromagnetic forces, which involve charged particles. This can be either attractive (like charges attracting) or repulsive (opposite charges repelling).
* Strong nuclear force? This force is responsible for holding the nucleus of an atom together. It's very strong but acts only over very short distances.
* Weak nuclear force? This force is responsible for certain types of radioactive decay.
Once you clarify your question, I can give you a more accurate and detailed answer.
