Because a Btu is so small, energy is usually measured in millions of Btus. 1 Btu = the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of one pound of water (which is equivalent to one pint) by one degree Fahrenheit. This is roughly the heat produced from burning one match.

applied forces would be push for example.
normal forces would seem to be a force such as gravity.
friction for example when you try to slide on carpet but the fabric or whatever its made of stops you.
P.E = mgh
This is the formula for potential energy.
This is where m is mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.
All you have to do is multiply all these numbers together.
<h2>Answer: Gravitational attraction
</h2>
Gravity force causes the clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar. As this <u>attraction force</u> is responsible for gathering and compressing the existing elements in the cloud of gas and dust, heating them during this process.
Then, when the amount of material accumulated by gravitational contraction is large enough, and the temperature and pressure reached high enough, the <u>nuclear fusion</u> process will begin.
To understand it better: The hydrogen nuclei will begin to fuse, generating helium nuclei in the process and releasing huge amounts of energy.
It should be noted that the protostars radiate half of the energy contributed by the gravitational collapse and the other half is invested in heating its core.
