### Step-by-Step Solution #### Part (a): Plotting the Variation of Potential Energy 1. **Understanding the Concept**: - The potential energy of a pair of nucleons (neutrons and protons) varies with their separation distance. - At very short distances (less than 1 femtometer), the nuclear force is repulsive due to the strong interaction between nucleons. - Beyond this distance, the force becomes attractive, leading to a decrease in potential energy. ...
