Answer:

<em>faster and at a higher luminosity and temperature.</em>

Explanation:

A protostar looks like a star but its core is not yet hot enough for fusion to take place. The luminosity comes exclusively from the heating of the protostar as it contracts. Protostars are usually surrounded by dust, which blocks the light that they emit, so they are difficult to observe in the visible spectrum.

A protostar becomes a main sequence star when its core temperature exceeds 10 million K. This is the temperature needed for hydrogen fusion to operate efficiently.

Stars above about 200 solar masses (Higher mass) generate power so furiously that gravity cannot contain their internal pressure. These stars blow themselves apart and do not exist for long if at all. A protostar with less than 0.08 solar masses never reaches the 10 million K temperature needed for efficient hydrogen fusion. These result in “failed stars” called brown dwarfs which radiate mainly in the infrared and look deep red in color. They are very dim and difficult to detect, but there might be many of them, and in fact they might outnumber other stars in the universe.

That is why higher mass protostars enter the main sequence at a <em>faster and at a higher luminosity and temperature.</em>

Use the kinematic equation: Vf=Vi+at

Then plug;

Vi=14 m/s

a=5 m/s²

t=20 s. Therefore;

Vf=14+(5*20)

Vf=114 m/s.

A mass hanging from a spring oscillates with a period of 0.35 s. Suppose the mass and spring are swung in a horizontal circle, w
Annette [7]

Answer:

66 rpm

Explanation:

The period of oscillation is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac {m}{k}}

\frac {k}{m}=\frac {4\pi^{2}}{T^{2}} where  T is time period of oscillation which is given as 0.35 s, k s spring constant and m is the mass of the object attached to the spring.

Also, net force is given by

Net force=m\omega^{2} L

\omega=\sqrt{\frac {k\triangle L}{mL}} where \triangle L is the elongation, L is original length, \omega is the angular velocity

Substituting the equation of \frac {k}{m} into the above we obtain

\omega=\sqrt {\frac {4\pi^{2}\triangle L}{T^{2} L}}

\omega=\sqrt {4\pi^{2}\times 0.15L}{0.35^{2}\times L}}=6.952763\approx 6.95 rad/s

6.95\times\frac {60 s}{2\pi rad}\approx 66 rpm

Your friend says that if Newton’s third law is correct, no object would ever start moving. Here is his argument: You pull a sled
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

You pull a sled exerting a 50 N force on it , sled also exerts a force on you . These forces are action and reaction force , as per third law of Newton . These two forces are equal and  opposite . But they do not act on the same object so they do not cancel each other . They act on different objects , one on the sledge and the other on you . Due to force on sledge , sledge moves in the direction of force or towards you . You will start moving in opposite direction if frictional force of ground is nil or less .
