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>

To calculate the change in kinetic energy, you must know the force as a function of _______. The work done by the force causes t
QveST [7]

Answer:

(c) position

Explanation:

From the work-energy theorem, the workdone by a force on a body causes a change in kinetic energy of the body.

But, remember that the work done (W) by a force (F) on a body is the product of the force and the distance d, moved by the body caused by the force. i.e

W = F x d

This distance is a measure of the position of the body at a given instance.

Therefore, the work done is given by the force as a function of distance (or position).

You are investigating an elevator accident which happened in a tall building. An elevator in this building is attached to a stro
Advocard [28]

Answer:

a) F = 2250 Ib

b) F = 550 Ib

c) new max force ( F newmax ) = 2850 Ib

Explanation:

A) The force the wall of the elevator shaft exert on the motor if the elevator starts from rest and goes up

max capacity  of elevator = 24000 Ibs

counterweight = 1000 Ibs

To calculate the force (F) :

we first calculate the Tension using this relationship

Counterweight (1000) - T =  ( 1000 / g ) ( g/4 )

Hence T = 750 Ib

next determine F

750 + F - 2400 = 2400 / 4

hence F = 2250 Ib

B ) calculate Tension first

T - 1000 = ( 1000/g ) ( g/4)

T = 1250 Ib

F = 2400 -1250 - 2400/ 4

F = 550 Ib

C ) determine design limit

Max = 2400 * 1.2 = 2880 Ib

750 + new force - 2880 = 2880 / 4

new max force ( F newmax ) = 2850 Ib

Merton’s strain theory would have the most trouble explaining which crime?
Ronch [10]
Strain theory would least apply to assault. Strain theory represents the result of society pressuring individuals to conform or to achieve accepted goals. When these goals, such as not making enough money or not being well known, fraud, robbery, and burglaries will take place to counteract it. Assault, on the other hand, is used as a bridge into crimes such as fraud, robbery, or burglary.
