The weight of an object, w, varies inversely as the square of its distance from the center of Earth, d. When an astronaut stands in a training center on the surface of Earth (3,960 miles from the center), she weighs 155 pounds. To the nearest tenth of a pound, what will be the approximate weight of the astronaut when she is standing on a space station, in orbit 240 miles above the training center? A.
174.4 pounds
B.
164.4 pounds
C.
146.1 pounds
D.
137.8 pounds

10.416 meters per second

step-by-step explanation:

distance=1 00 meters

time= 9.6 seconds in decimal form or 9 3/5 as a mixed number

average speed= 100/9.6

=10.416 meters per second or 10 52/125 as a mixed number.

for

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
