A comet is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun. Its closest approach to the Sun is a distance of 5 1010 m (inside the orbit of Mercury), at which point its speed is 9 104 m/s. Its farthest distance from the Sun is far beyond the orbit of Pluto. What is its speed when it is 6 1012 m from the Sun? (This is the approximate distance of Pluto from the Sun.) speed = ______m/s

The orbit of a 1.5 ✕ 1010 kg comet around the Sun is elliptical, with an aphelion distance of 33.0 AU and perihelion distance of 0.850 AU. (Note: 1 AU = one astronomical unit = the average distance from the Sun to the Earth = 1.496 ✕ 1011 m.) (a)What is its orbital eccentricity? (b)What is its period? (Enter your answer in yr.) (c)At aphelion what is the potential energy (in J) of the comet—Sun system?

If the comet's speed at a distance of 9.1 x 1010 m from the sun is 5.1 x 104 m/s and angular momentum is conserved, what is its speed when it is 3.6 x 1012 m from the sun? Ignore radial components of momentum. Answer in units of m/s.

Most geologists believe that the dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago when a large comet or asteroid struck the earth, throwing up so much dust that the sun was blocked out for a period of many months. Suppose an asteroid with a diameter of 2.0 km and a mass of 1.1 ×1013 kg hits the earth (6.0×1024 kg) with an impact speed of 4.5 ×104 m/s. a. What is the earth’s recoil speed after such a collision?

A comet moves about the Sun in an elliptical orbit, with its closest approach to the Sun being about 0.620 AU and its greatest distance from the sun being 35.5 AU (1 AU = the Earth-Sun distance). If the comet's speed at closest approach is 54.0 km/s, what is its speed when it is farthest from the Sun? (The gravitational force exerted by the Sun on the comet is parallel to the moment arm, so exerts no torque. Therefore, angular...
