13.65 ... Comets travel around the sun in elliptical orbits with large eccentricities. If a comet has speed 2.0 X 104 m/s when at a distance of 2.5 X 10" m from the center of the sun, what is its speed when at a distance of 5.0 x 1010 m?

Hello all.

A comet goes around the sun in an elliptical orbit. Atitsfarthest point, 395million miles from the sun, it is travelingwitha speed of 15, 175 mi/h. How fast is it traveling at itsclosestapproach to the sun, at a distance of 200millionmiles?__________mi/h

An asteroid in an elliptical orbit about the sun travels at3.1x 10^6 m/s at perihelion ( the point of closest approach) atadistance of 3.8 x 10^8 km from the sun. How fast is it travelingataphelion ( the most distant point), which is 9.0 x 10^8 km fromthesun?______________m/s

Halley's comet moves about the Sun in an elliptical orbit, with its closest approach to the Sun being 0.59 A.U. and its greatest distance being 35 A.U. (1 A.U. = Earth-Sun distance). If the comet's speed at closest approach is 63 km/s, what is its speed when it is farthest from the Sun? You may neglect any change in the comet's mass and assume that its angular momentum about the Sun is conserved.
