Answer

$$645.43 \mathrm{mi}$$

Work Step by Step

\[ \begin{array}{l} {\left[9-191,000 \int_{0}^{k} \frac{1}{(x+3963)^{2}} d x\right]^{1 / 2}=1.5} \\ {\left[9-191,000\left(-\frac{-1}{3963}+\frac{-1}{k+3963}\right)\right]^{1 / 2}=1.5} \end{array} \] Evaluate the integral for $b=k, a=0,$ when the total result is equal to 1.5 (half the initial speed), using the antiderivative: $\left[9-191,000 \cdot \frac{(k+3963)-3963}{(k+3963) 3963}\right]^{1 / 2}=1.5$ $9-191,000 \cdot \frac{k}{(k+3963) 3963}=2.25$ This simplifies as $\frac{191,000 k}{3963 (k+3963) }=6.75$ \[ \begin{aligned} &3963 (k+3963)6.75= 191,000 k \\ k & \approx 645.43 \mathrm{mi} \end{aligned} \]
