The maximum distance from the Earth to the Sun (at aphelion) is 1.521 × 10^11 m, and the distance of the closest approach (at perihelion) is 1.471 × 10^11 m. The Earth's orbital speed at perihelion is 3.027 104 m/s. Ignore the effect of the Moon and other planets. (a) Determine the Earth's orbital speed at aphelion. m/s (b) Determine the kinetic and potential energies of the Earth-Sun system at perihelion and at aphelion.
