An astronaut lands on a new planet. The new planet’s mass is half that of the

Ah hah !  Very nice problem.

-- Since the mass is 1/2 of the Earth's mass, the gravitational forces between him
and the new planet would be 1/2 of what they are on Earth.

-- Since the distance between him and the center of the new planet is 1/2 of the
distance between him and the Earth's center, the gravitational forces between him
and the new planet would be (2)² = 4 times what they are on Earth.

-- These conditions combine to make his weight  (1/2) x (4) = 2 times his earth weight.

-- He weighs 1,000 N (about 224.8 pounds) on the new planet.

(Maybe that's why they selected an astronaut for this mission who only weighs
about 112.5 pounds on Earth.)

Fiora starts riding her bike at 20 mi/h. After a while, she slows down to 14 mi/h, and maintains that speed for the rest of the
goblinko [34]

Answer:

3.5 hours

Explanation:

Speed = distance/time

Let the distance that Fiora biked at 20 mi/h through be x miles and the time it took her to bike through that distance be t hours at 20 mi/h

Then, the rest of the distance that she biked at 14 mi/h is (112 - x) miles

And the time she spent biking at 14 mi/h the rest of the distance = (6.5 - t) hours

Her first biking speed = 20 mph = 20 miles/hour

Speed = distance/time

20 = x/t

x = 20 t (eqn 1)

Her second biking speed = 14 mph = 14 miles/hour

14 = (112 - x)/(6.5 - t)

112 - x = 14 (6.5 - t)

112 - x = 91 - 14t (eqn 2)

Substitute for x in (eqn 2)

112 - 20t = 91 - 14t

20t - 14t = 112 - 91

6t = 21

t = 3.5 hours

x = 20t = 20 × 3.5 = 70 miles.

(112 - x) = 112 - 70 = 42 miles

(6.5 - t) = 6.5 - 3.5 = 3 hours

Meaning that she travelled at 20 mi/h for 3.5 hours.
