The cause for a molecular cloud forming fragments when it collapses is indicated correctly by option D. density variations from place to place grow larger as the cloud collapses.

Molecular cloud:

A molecular cloud, also known as a stellar nursery, is a specific kind of interstellar cloud, whose density and size allow the development of molecules, absorption nebulae, and H II regions. In contrast, some regions of the interstellar medium mostly consist of ionized gas.

Molecular clouds are cold, dense areas of space where stars form. The cloud collapses into a proto-star when the gravitational force pulling it in outweighs the internal pressure pushing it in.

When a molecular cloud collapses, it is observed that the density varies from place to place with the variation increasing with collapse. As a result, the collapse is characterized by fragmentation of the cloud.

Thus the correct option is: D. density variations from place to place grow larger as the cloud collapses.

Why can you jump further on the Moon than on the earth?
kicyunya [14]
Because the gravitational field strength on the moon (1.6N/kg)is smaller than the gravitational field strength on the earth (9.8N/kg). Weight= mass×gravitational field strength. Your mass is the same but as g is smaller, your weight decreases. weight is the gravitational force, the downwards force towards the centre of the planet, and as it will be smaller on the moon, the force of attraction between the moon and you is smalller so when you jumb you will reach a higher point above the ground than when you jumb on the earth. Basically the moon 'pulls' you less than the earth.

Coherent light from a sodium-vapor lamp is passed through a filter that blocks everything except for light of a single wavelengt
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

λ = 6.61 x 10⁻⁷ m = 661 nm

Explanation:

From the Young's Double Slit experiment, the the spacing between adjacent bright or dark fringes is given by the following formula:

Δx = λL/d

where,

Δx = fringe spacing = 2.86 mm = 2.86 x ⁻³ m

L = Distance between slits and screen = 2.12 m

d = slit separation = 0.49 mm = 0.49 x 10⁻³ m

λ = wavelength of light = ?

Therefore,

2.86 x 10⁻³ m = λ(2.12 m)/(0.49 x 10⁻³ m)

(2.86 x 10⁻³ m)(0.49 x 10⁻³ m)/(2.12 m) = λ

<u>λ = 6.61 x 10⁻⁷ m = 661 nm</u>
