1) The Big Bang theory is the prevailing cosmological model for: a) The formation of stars and planets. b) The origin and evolution of the universe. 2) How does the Big Bang theory help us understand the distribution of elements in the universe?. a) It explains the formation of heavy elements in supernova explosions. b) It predicts the abundance of light elements like hydrogen and helium in the early universe. 3) A student argues that the discovery of a galaxy moving towards us instead of away from us disproves the Big Bang theory. How would you respond to this argument? a) The Big Bang theory predicts that all galaxies must be moving away from each other. b) The Big Bang theory predicts the overall expansion of the universe, but local motions within galaxy clusters can cause some galaxies to move towards us. 4) Which of the following is the correct order of the Sun's evolution from youngest to oldest stage? a) main-sequence, red giant, protostar, white dwarf b) white dwarf,protostar,red giant,main-sequence 5) Two stars, Star A and Star B, have the same initial mass. Star A is located in a dense star cluster, while Star B is isolated in a relatively empty region of space. Which star is likely to have a longer lifespan on the main sequence? a) Star A b) Star B 6) Given that many elements essential for life (carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, etc.) are created within stars, how does our understanding of stellar evolution contribute to our understanding of the origins of life in the universe? a) Stellar evolution has no direct connection to the origins of life. b) Stellar evolution ensures the availability of the necessary building blocks for life to form. 7) Astronomers observe a young, isolated star with an unusually high abundance of lithium in its atmosphere. This is unexpected because lithium is easily destroyed in the core of stars.Which of the following scenarios best explains this observation? a) The star formed from a nebula enriched by a recent supernova. b) The star is undergoing a period of unusually high stellar activity, leading to increased lithium production. 8) Explain how the elements and energy released in a supernova can contribute to the formation of new stars. a) Supernova destroy nearby gas clouds, preventing new star formation. b) The shock waves from a supernova can compress existing gas clouds, triggering the collapse and formation of new stars. 9) If astronomers observe a nebula with an unusually high abundance of elements like gold and platinum, what can they infer about the history of that region of space? a) A supernova likely occurred in the recent past. b) The nebula is very old and has been enriched by many generations of stars. 10) The observation of a particular nebula reveals an unexpectedly high abundance of certain heavy elements, such as gold and platinum. A research team attributes this to a recent supernova event.Evaluate the validity of this conclusion, considering alternative explanations for the observed elemental abundances, such as the influence of stellar winds from massive stars, the presence of a nearby pulsar, or enrichment from older supernovae. a) The research team's conclusion is likely valid, as supernovae are the only known source of these heavy elements. b) The research team's conclusion is likely valid, but further observations are needed to rule out the influence of stellar winds and pulsars.
