The minimum distance of a comet from the Sun is observed to be an eighth of the radius of the Earth’s orbit (which is assumed to be circular), and its speed at that point (the perihelion) is four times the orbital speed vE of the Earth. The orbits of the Earth and comet are coplanar. a) Find the comet’s speed in terms of vE when it crosses the Earth’s orbit, and the angle at which the orbits cross. b) Will...
