Suppose that the Sun’s gravitational force was suddenly turned off, so that Earth became a free object rather than being confined to orbit the Sun. How long would it take for Earth to reach a distance from the Sun equal to Pluto’s present orbital radius? (Hint: You will find some of the data you need in Appendix C).
