A protostar forms when a  NEBULA collapses under the force of gravity.

After the collapse, the young star will gather molecular cloud from its parents , which could take millions of years

hope this helps

Answer:

C .Nebula

Explanation:

Protostar is an early stage in the formation of a star. Main sequence star is formed after the protostar heats up to almost 10 million kelvin temperature.

The interstellar medium fills the entire space, which appears to be seemingly empty. It is comprised of gas and dust. Hydrogen is the most abundant element in this medium, which is spread across and fills the space.

Under the influence of gravity, pressure and temperature, these clouds of gas and dust come together forming nebula. Hydrogen and helium in this nebula, under high temperature  conditions form protostars.

An inventor claims to have invented a heat engine that receives 750kJ of heat from a source at 400K and produces 250kJ of net wo
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

the claim is not valid or reasonable.

Explanation:

In order to test the claim we will find the maximum and actual efficiencies. maximum efficiency of a heat engine can be found as:

η(max) = 1 - T₁/T₂

where,

η(max) = maximum efficiency = ?

T₁ = Sink Temperature = 300 K

T₂ = Source Temperature = 400 K

Therefore,

η(max) = 1 - 300 K/400 K

η(max) = 0.25 = 25%

Now, we calculate the actual frequency of the engine:

η = W/Q

where,

W = Net Work = 250 KJ

Q = Heat Received = 750 KJ

Therefore,

η = 250 KJ/750 KJ

η = 0.333 = 33.3 %

η > η(max)

The actual efficiency of a heat engine can never be greater than its Carnot efficiency or the maximum efficiency.

<u>Therefore, the claim is not valid or reasonable.</u>

A 100-n force has a horizontal component of 80 n and a vertical component of 60 n. the force is applied to a box which rests on
iragen [17]
<span>160 Joules

   For this problem, we can ignore the vertical component of the applied force and focus on only the horizontal component of 80 N and since work is defined as force over distance, let's multiply the force by the distance: 80 N * 2.0 m = 160 Nm = 160 kg*m^2/s^2 = 160 Joules.

   So the cart has a final kinetic energy of 160 Joules.</span>
