Answer:
No. The protostellar cloud spins faster in the collapsing stage (stage 1) and becomes much slower in the contraction stage (stage 2)
Explanation:
Once the cloud is so dense that the heat which is being produced in its center cannot easily escape, pressure rapidly rises, and catches up with the weight, or whatever external force is causing the cloud to collapse, and the cloud becomes stable, as a protostellar cloud.
The protostellar cloud will become more dense over thousands of years. This stage of decreasing size is known as a contraction, rather than a collapse. In the contraction stage the cloud has become much slower, and because weight and pressure are more or less in balance. In the first stage of formation, the decrease of size is very rapid, and compressive forces completely overwhelm the pressure of the gas, and we say that the cloud is collapsing.

Explanation:
The inclined plane
An inclined plane consists of a sloping surface; it is used for raising heavy bodies. The plane offers a mechanical advantage in that the force required to move an object up the incline is less than the weight being raised (discounting friction). The steeper the slope, or incline, the more nearly the required force approaches the actual weight. Expressed mathematically, the force F required to move a block D up an inclined plane without friction is equal to its weight W times the sine of the angle the inclined plane makes with the horizontal (θ). The equation is F = W sin θ.
The lever
A lever is a bar or board that rests on a support called a fulcrum. A downward force exerted on one end of the lever can be transferred and increased in an upward direction at the other end, allowing a small force to lift a heavy weight.
The wedge
A wedge is an object that tapers to a thin edge. Pushing the wedge in one direction creates a force in a sideways direction. It is usually made of metal or wood and is used for splitting, lifting, or tightening, as in securing a hammer head onto its handle.
The wheel and axle
A wheel and axle is made up of a circular frame (the wheel) that revolves on a shaft or rod (the axle). In its earliest form it was probably used for raising weights or water buckets from wells.
Its principle of operation is best explained by way of a device with a large gear and a small gear attached to the same shaft. The tendency of a force, F, applied at the radius R on the large gear to turn the shaft is sufficient to overcome the larger force W at the radius r on the small gear. The force amplification, or mechanical advantage, is equal to the ratio of the two forces (W:F) and also equal to the ratio of the radii of the two gears (R:r)
The Virtual Laboratory is an interactive environment for creating and conducting simulated experiments: a playground for experimentation. It consists of domain-dependent simulation programs, experimental units called objects that encompass data files, tools that operate on these objects

Answer:
2.86 m
Explanation:
Given:
M₁ = 10 kg
M₂ = 5 kg
= 0.5
height, h = 5 m
distance traveled, s = 2 m
spring constant, k = 250 N/m
now,
the initial velocity of the first block as it approaches the second block
u₁ = √(2 × g × h)
or
u₁ = √(2 × 9.8 × 5)
or
u₁ = 9.89 m/s
let the velocity of second ball be v₂
now from the conservation of momentum, we have
M₁ × u₁ = M₂ × v₂
on substituting the values, we get
10 × 9.89 = 5 × v₂
or
v₂ = 19.79 m/s
now,
let the velocity of mass 2 when it reaches the spring be v₃
from the work energy theorem, we have
Work done by the friction force = change in kinetic energy of the mass 2
or
or
v₃ = 20.27 m/s
now, let the spring is compressed by the distance 'x'
therefore, from the conservation of energy
we have
Energy of the spring = Kinetic energy of the mass 2
or
on substituting the values, we get
or
x = 2.86 m
