To determine which of the options are baryons, we first need to understand what baryons are. Baryons are a type of composite subatomic particle made up of three quarks. They are one of the two families of hadrons, the other being mesons (composed of one quark and one antiquark). The most common baryons are protons and neutrons, which are found in atomic nuclei.
Let's analyze the options given:
- \(e^+, p^+\) and \(\Sigma^0\):
- \(e^+\) is a positron, which is a lepton, not a baryon.
- \(p^+\) is the symbol for a proton, which is a baryon.
- \(\Sigma^0\) is a sigma baryon, which is indeed a baryon. - \(e^+, \Sigma^-, \pi^+\):
- \(e^+\) is a positron, not a baryon.
- \(\Sigma^+\) is a sigma baryon (baryon).
- \(\pi^+\) is a pion, which is a meson, not a baryon. - \(\pi^-, e^-, p^+\):
- \(\pi^-,\) like \(\pi^+\), is a pion and is a meson.
- \(e^-,\) is an electron, which is a lepton.
- \(p^+\) is a proton, a baryon. - \(p^+, \Sigma^+, n^0\):
- \(p^+\) is a proton, hence a baryon.
- \(\Sigma^+\) is a sigma baryon.
- \(n^0\) is a neutron, which is also a baryon.
Thus, the correct answer where all particles listed are baryons is \(p^+, \Sigma^+, n^0\) (proton, sigma baryon, and neutron).
Initially, it was mistakenly identified as \(e^+, p^+\) and \(\Sigma^0\), where \(e^+\) is not a baryon. Hence, the correct answer should be \(p^+, \Sigma^+, n^0\) as all these are baryons.

A stone is thrown horizontally from the top of a 20 m high building with a speed of 12 m/s. It hits the ground at a distance R from the building. Taking g = 10 m/s2 and neglecting air resistance will give :
A sphere of volume V is made of a material with lower density than water. While on Earth, it floats on water with its volume f1V (f1 < 1) submerged. On the other hand, on a spaceship accelerating with acceleration a < g (g is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth) in outer space, its submerged volume in water is f2V. Then:
A railway wagon (open at the top) of mass M1 is moving with speed v1 along a straight track. As a result of rain, after some time it gets partially filled with water so that the mass of the wagon becomes M2 and speed becomes v2. Taking the rain to be falling vertically and the water stationery inside the wagon, the relation between the two speeds v1 and v2 is :
Consider the following statements:
1. Distance between the longitudes becomes zero on North Pole and South Pole.
2. Distance between the longitudes is maximum on the Equator.
3. Number of longitudes is more than number of latitudes.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
One block of 2⋅0 kg mass is placed on top of another block of 3⋅0 kg mass. The coefficient of static friction between the two blocks is 0⋅2. The bottom block is pulled with a horizontal force F such that both the blocks move together without slipping. Taking acceleration due to gravity as 10 m/s2, the maximum value of the frictional force is :
