Multiple-Object Accelerating Systems: A locomotive is pulling 9 freight cars, each of which is loaded with the same weight. The mass of each loaded car is 37,000 kg, and we can neglect friction on these 9 cars. If the train is accelerating forward at 0.81 m/s2 on a level track, what is the tension in the coupling between the second and third cars? (The car nearest the locomotive is counted as the first car.)

The diagram above shows the life track of a 1 MSun protostar from the time it first begins to form until it reaches the main sequence, with four stages labeled. What is happening to the protostar's surface temperature and luminosity during Stage 3, when it is undergoing radiative contraction and its life track moves up and to the left?

A) Its surface temperature and luminosity increase. B) Its surface temperature remains the same and its luminosity decreases. C) Its surface temperature and luminosity decrease. D) Its surface temperature decreases and its luminosity increases. E) Its surface temperature and luminosity remain the same.
