Stellar Nursery - Pillars of Creation, Eagle Nebula. The Pillars of Creation are large, dense masses of dust and interstellar gas (mostly molecular hydrogen) that rise from the stellar nursery of the Eagle Nebula (M16). Here, dense pockets of dust and gas collapse in on themselves to form young stars. The Pillars of Creation are located about 6500 light years from Earth, and the left-most pillar has a current length of approximately 4 light years (a light year is the distance light travels in one year...about 9.5 trillion km). What is the length of the left-most pillar (in km)

Consider an ordinary, helium-filled party balloon with a volume of 2.2 ft3. the lifting force on the balloon due to the outside air is the net resultant of the pressure distribution exerted on the exterior surface of the balloon. using this fact, we can derive archimedes’ principle, namely that the upward force on the balloon is equal to the weight of the air displaced by the balloon. assuming that the balloon is at sea level, where the air density is 0.002377 slug/ft3, calculate the maximum weight that can be lifted by the balloon. note: the molecular weight of air is 28.8 and that of helium is 4.

What’s #16 asking me and how do i solve it?

You can decrease the resistance of a length of wire by
