Will a planet or comet be moving faster in its orbit when it is farther from or closer to the sun?

No difference.

A planet, asteroid, space station, rock, empty fuel tank, asteroid,
lost space probe, TV satellite, orbiting telescope, moon, or comet,
if they're traveling in the same orbit around the same central body,
all have the same speed at the same point in the orbit.

A girl (mass M) standing on the edge of a frictionless merry-go-round (radius R, rotational inertia I) that is not moving. She t

a) $\omega=\frac{-mvR}{I+MR^2}$

b) $v=\frac{-mvR^2}{I+MR^2}$

Explanation:

a)

Since there are no external torques acting on the system, the total angular momentum must remain constant.

At the beginning, the merry-go-round and the girl are at rest, so the initial angular momentum is zero:

$L_1=0$

Later, after the girl throws the rock, the angular momentum will be:

$L_2=(I_M+I_g)\omega +L_r$

where:

$I$ is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round

$I_g=MR^2$ is the moment of inertia of the girl, where

M is the mass of the girl

R is the distance of the girl from the axis of rotation

$\omega$ is the angular speed of the merry-go-round and the girl

$L_r=mvR$ is the angular momentum of the rock, where

m is the mass of the rock

v is its velocity

Since the total angular momentum is conserved,

$L_1=L_2$

So we find:

$0=(I+I_g)\omega +mvR\\\omega=\frac{-mvR}{I+MR^2}$

And the negative sign indicates that the disk rotates in the direction opposite to the motion of the rock.

b)

The linear speed of a body in rotational motion is given by

$v=\omega r$

where

$\omega$ is the angular speed

r is the distance of the body from the axis of rotation

In this problem, for the girl, we have:

$\omega=\frac{-mvR}{I+MR^2}$ is the angular speed

$r=R$ is the distance of the girl from the axis of rotation

Therefore, her linear speed is:

$v=\omega R=\frac{-mvR^2}{I+MR^2}$
