An astronaut stranded out in space wants to figure out how far she is from Earth. The only thing that she has with her is her handy dandy indestructible stopwatch that can survive the heat of re-entry and the shock of impact with Earth. She starts the stopwatch and lets it go with approximately zero velocity in the reference frame of Earth. After the watch crashes to Earth, mission control retrieves it and finds that thestopwatch was falling for 7 days. How far away from Earth is the astronaut?
