All the forces listed are considered fundamental forces in nature.
There are four known fundamental forces (or interactions) in physics:
1. The gravitational force: Governs the attraction between objects with mass.
2. The electromagnetic force: Acts between electrically charged particles (includes electric and magnetic forces).
3. The strong nuclear force: Binds quarks together to form protons and neutrons, and holds the nucleus of an atom together.
4. The weak nuclear force: Responsible for radioactive decay, such as beta decay.
These four forces are believed to be the basic interactions from which all other forces (like friction, tension, etc.) are derived. Scientists are still working on theories (like Grand Unified Theories and Theory of Everything) to unify these fundamental forces.
