If the initial interstellar cloud in star formation has a mass sufficient to form hundreds of stars, how does a single star form from it?

a. one star forms and the rest of the matter goes into making planets, moons, and other objects of a solar system.
b. a supernova blows the cloud up and dissipates the majority of the gas.
c. the cloud fragments into smaller clouds and forms many stars at one time.
d. the cloud is disrupted by rotation so that it reduces its mass down to that of a typical star.
e. one star forms at its center and blows the rest of the matter back into space.

Option (C)

Explanation:

Stars are the astronomical bodies that are light years away from the earth and are formed when a cloud of interstellar gases and dust particles gets collapsed, and eventually, it becomes hot and highly dense, reaching such a point where the nuclear fusion process is able to take place.

Nuclear fusion is defined as the process where the lighter elements are combined together to form heavier elements.

For the formation of multiple stars, the process is the same. When there forms an extremely huge cloud of dust particles and gases, these clouds get separated into numerous smaller clouds, compared to the larger clouds. This clouds when collapses, the nuclear fusion process takes place that gives rise to the formation of multiple stars, at one particular time.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).

need to see circuit to get time constant

layers of the earth affect the waves and these effects are seen on instruiments such as seimometers
