How to tell the difference between strong and weak forces?
I have always struggled with this. When it shows an equation and it asks which force is used in the interaction I can never tell if it is the strong nuclear force or the weak nuclear force. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Strong force is when hadrons interact, weak force is when a quark changes and there is a decay.

Thanks, that make more sense now.
Strangeness is conserved in the strong
Strange particles are formed in pairs in the strong interaction (with opposite strangenesses/charges so strangeness conserves)
Strangeness is not conserved in the weak
Weak interaction is the only interaction that can change a quark's character (change the quark formation of a particle)
