What happened when the gas in the nebula's center stopped collapsing?
Polio
What is it called when the nebula begins collapsing and turning into a small spinning cloud?
Protostar
What shape does a collapsing nebula take?
The shapes that collapsing nebula take are a result of a combination of haphazard directions of movement and force responding to the initial motivating nudge from some external force and gravitational attraction and formation of clumps with in the nebula. The shape seen i.e. a blob, elliptical, etc. is in all probably a function of time with regard to the evolving motion and gravitational organization of matter with in the nebula.
Which aspect of the nebula hypothesis accounts for the planets orbiting in the same direction and plane?
The collapsing gas and dust cloud began to spin and form a disk.
Why is the center of a collapsing nebula forms a star?
If enough matter comes together close enough, the collapse itself will generate enough heat (and pressure) for nuclear fusion. In other words, a star is created.
What works with pressure to keep a nebula from collapsing?
Gravity works with Pressure to keep a Nebula from collapsing.
What 2 forces balance each other to keep of nebula dust and gas from collapsing or flying apart?
Gravity and gas.
Why did the nebula's condense to form the sun?
If the nebula is gravitationally unstable, it collapsing & forming stars!
How do gravity and pressure keep a nebula from collapsing?
the pressure pushes the nebula together just like magnets to keep it from falling or collapsing, and the gravity pulls the exess debri into the nebula to keep it packed tight.

What forces act on nebula?
Gravity and Inertia
How can a nebula become unstable?
A nebula is a cloud of dust and gas. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "unstable" in this context, since I don't know what you consider "stable". Nebulae are dynamic, changing in response to gravitational forces and radiation pressure; the only way I can think of for one to be "stable" would be if the gravitational forces exactly balanced out the radiation pressure, which would just by the nature of things have to be metastable at best.
