At its typical velocity of $440$ km s$1,$ how long in days does it take the solar wind to arrive at Mercury $(0\mathrm{.}39$ AU$),$ the Earth $(1$ AU$),$ Jupiter $(5\mathrm{.}2$ AU$),$ and Pluto $(39$ AU$)?$ If an ICME leaves the Sun at $1500$ km s$1$ and slows at a rate of $50$ km s$1$ per AU$,$ how long would it take to reach these four bodies? When would the ICME reach the solar$-$wind speed?
