8 views1 pageComet Velocity Calculation in Orbits
The document provides information about the maximum and minimum distances of a comet from the sun, as well as its velocity when nearest to and farthest from the sun. It asks to calculate the comet's velocity when farthest from the sun, assuming it moves in circular orbits at both distances. The answer shows that the velocities are inversely proportional to the square root of the radii, and uses the given values to calculate the velocity at the farthest distance as 3x10^3 m/s.
