According to Yukawa’s theory of nuclear forces, the attractive force between a neutron and a proton has the potential V (r) = −Ke^(−αr)/r, K, α > 0 (a) Find the force, and compare it with an inverse square law of force. (b) Discuss the types of motion which can occur if a particle of mass m moves under such a force. (c) Discuss how the motions will be expected to differ from the corresponding types of motion for an inverse square law of force. (d) Find L and E for motion in a circle of radius a. (e) Find the period of circular motion and the period of small radial oscillations. (f) Show that the nearly circular orbits are almost closed when a is very small
