Consider a *.85 *10^21 kg asteroid elliptically orbiting the sun with perihelion and aphelion distances of 1.908*10^8 km and 8.192*10^8 km, respectively. Determine the variation in A) Total energy B) Potential energy C) Kinetic energy D) Orbital speed. In D) obtain answer as a fraction of the maximum orbital speed. Hint: use laws of conservation of energy and of conservation of angular momentum.)
