Answer:

4.81*10^{29}J

Explanation:

Since the formula for kinetic energy of an object is:

E_k = \frac{mv^2}{2}

Where m is the mass of the object and v is the speed. We can substitute m = 3*10^{21}kg and v = 17900m/s:

E_k = \frac{3*10^{21} * (17900)^2}{2} = 4.81*10^{29}J

After the collapse of a nebular cloud, atoms begin gravitating together to form a condensed center. What happens next in the sta
ELEN [110]
Well, first of all, I don't think "After the collapse of a nebular cloud ..."
is the first time that "atoms begin gravitating together".  Seems to me like
that's what was going on all the time, and it's what caused the nebular cloud
to collapse in the first place.

In any case, once the pressure and temperature at the center get high enough,
you get "ignition" of nuclear fusion, and that's when you first have a "star".
