The lowest surface temperature in the solar system was recorded on Uranus (-224 degrees Celsius). The temperature of a planet does not only depend on the amount of solar radiation that it receives but also on the amount of heat that it gives off. Because of Uranus' orientation it absorbs little radiation which makes it colder than Neptune although Neptune is further away from the Sun. <span />
D.
All follow an elliptical path that has two foci, rather than a circular path.
Kepler found paths are elliptical, not circular
<u>Note that</u>:
The gravitational potential energy = 
where m: is the mass, g: the acceleration due to the gravity and h is the height from the earth surface
Then, we can increase the gravitational potential energy by increasing the mass or the height from the earth surface
<u>In our question</u>, we can increase the gravitational potential energy by
<u>A) Strap a boulder to the car so that it wights more.</u>
If the vertical component is 29.6 m/s down, and the horizontal component
is 54.8 m/s parallel to the surface, then the magnitude of the slanty vector is
√(29.6² + 54.8²) = √(876.16 + 3003.04) = √3879.2 = 62.28 m/s .
That's 139 mph ! Wow !
