PART a)

As we know that gravitational potential energy is given by the formula

U = -\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r}

here we can see that gravitational potential energy inversely varies with the distance

so here when distance from the sun is minimum then magnitude of gravitational potential energy is maximum while since it is given with negative sign so its overall value is minimum at that position

So gravitational potential energy is minimum at the nearest point and maximum at the farthest point

PART b)

Since we know that sum of kinetic energy and potential energy is constant here

so the points of minimum potential energy is the point where kinetic energy is maximum which means speed is maximum

So here speed is maximum at the nearest point

Part C)

since gravitational potential energy inversely varies with distance so it's graph will be like hyperbolic graph with distance

A negatively-charged particle is slowly moving as it enters a region that has a constant magnetic field. If the velocity of the
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

no deflection and net force is zero. Moving in same direction and with same speed

Explanation:

Charge = negative

the angle between the velocity vector and the magnetic field vector is 0°, so the force is given by

F = q v B Sin 0

F = 0

As the force is zero so the charge particle moves with the same velocity and in the same direction.

there is no deflection in the path of negatively charged particle.
