The maximum and minimum distances of a comet from the Sun are \(1.6 \times 10^{12}\, m\) and \(8.0 \times 10^{10}\, m\) respectively. If the speed of the comet at the nearest point is \(6 \times 10^{4}\, ms ^{-1},\) the speed at the farthest point is ......... \(\times 10^{3}\, m / s\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(3.0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

By angular momentum conservation

\(mv _{1} r _{1}= mv _{2} r _{2}\)

\(v _{1}=\frac{48 \times 10^{14}}{1.6 \times 10^{12}}=3000 m / sec\)

\(=3 \times 10^{3} m / sec\)
