  1. Collapsing Cloud. The time it takes for a cloud 100,000 AU in radius to collapse in "free fall" to form a new star is half the time it would take an object to orbit the star on an extremely elliptical orbit with a semimajor axis of 50,000 AU. Use Kepler's third law to find the collapse time, assuming the star has the same mass as the Sun.
