Answer: Option c

Explanation:

Nebula is a birthplace or stellar nursery where stars take birth. Gases condense to form a nebula. Then these gases start to collapse under their own gravity. This heats up the matter which is condensing which gives rise to a protostar. After the formation of protostar, if the mass is sufficient and temperature is high enough, nuclear fusion reaction kicks in at the core and starts to release energy and enters the main sequence.

Hence, the correct order of process leading up to the formation of main sequence star is: option c

Gases condense to form a nebula
gravity causes the nebula to collapse and spin
a protostar forms
nuclear fusion occurs.

Carbon-14 is used to determine the age of ancient objects. If a sample today contains 0.060 g of carbon-14, how much carbon-14 m

MakcuM [25]

Answer: 86.47 g of carbon-14 must have been present in the sample 11,430 years ago.

Explanation:

Half-life of sample of carbon -14= 5,730 days

$\lambda=\frac{0.693}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}=\frac{0.693}{5,730 days}=0.00012 day^{-1}$

Let the sample present 11,430 years(t) ago = $N_o$

Sample left till today ,N= 0.060 g

$N=N_o\times e^{-\lambda t}$

$ln[N]=ln[N]_o-\lambda t$

$\log[0.060 g]=\log[N_o]-2.303\times 0.00012 day^{-1}\times 11,430 days$

$\log[N_o]=1.9369$

$N_o=86.47 g$

86.47 g of carbon-14 must have been present in the sample 11,430 years ago.

You're sitting in the back of a taxi and place your bag on the seat next to you. The taxi enters a traffic circle and travels th

svp [43]

Answer:

(d) III only

Explanation:

We have to observe the motion of the bag with respect to taxi , considering taxi as stationary or inertial frame . Since bag is not moving with respect to taxi , the inertial frame that means , net force on it is zero .So option i and ii are ruled out .

Now how to explain motion of the bag ie why it is stationary ie what are the balancing force acting on it. We know that on a body on circular path , a force called centripetal force is acting on it . So that force must be acting on it . The balancing force is the frictional force which is keeping it stationary with respect to taxi . Hence the third option is correct.
