Question: If you drop a book on the moon, what happens?
Response: It just floats.
Follow-up: But, what about the astronauts?
Responses: Gravity boots, heavy space suits, etc.

Question: If you drive to the beach at 40 MPH and drive back at 60 MPH, what was your average speed for the entire trip?
Response: 50 MPH.

Question: If it takes you 2 hours to cut the lawn, and it takes me 3 hours to cut the lawn, how long will it take for us to do it together?
Responses: 2.5 hours, 2 hours, etc.

Person A cuts the lawn in 2 hours.
After t hours, the number of lawns cut is t/2.
So, A[t] = t/2

Person B cuts the lawn in 3 hours.
After t hours, the number of lawns cut is t/3.
So, B[t] = t/3

Solve A[t] + B[t] = 1.
t/2 + t/3 = 1
5/6 x t = 1
t = 6/5

You don't know how long or what they were doing at the beach. Maybe they took a plane ride at the beach, maybe they just sat in the car and didn't move at all for 10 hours. There's not enough info to complete the calculation.

Suppose the beach is 120 miles away.
At 40MPH, you arrive there in 3 hours.
At 60MPH, you arrive home in 2 hours.

Total distance traveled: 240 miles.
Total time spent (disregarding time spent nearly drowning or potentially eaten by sharks): 5 hours.

240/50 = 48 MPH

Suppose the beach is d miles away.

At 60MPH, you arrive home in d/60 hours.

Total distance traveled: 2d miles.
Total time spent (disregarding time spent nearly drowning or potentially eaten by sharks): d/40 + d/60

2d / (d/40 + d/60) =

well to be fair you didn't specify the distance to the beach, so while 50mph isn't correct for time, it is impssible to calculate, so 50mph per mile would be correct.

>>3225578
Since gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, and the standerat gravity at the height of 1m is equal 9.8m/s^2, at 100km it's just 0.00000000098m/s^2, which is virtually undetectable. Incedently, that's also the reason why air density is lower in mountains (lower gravity -> lower attraction -> less air stays on Earth).
