The correct answer is D: which is none of the above.
Hint: a wreckling ball contains pontential energy that acts like a pendulum
a pot of water contains pontential thermal energy
Answer:
r1 = 5*10^10 m , r2 = 6*10^12 m
v1 = 9*10^4 m/s
From conservation of energy
K1 +U1 = K2 +U2
0.5mv1^2 - GMm/r1 = 0.5mv2^2 - GMm/r2
0.5v1^2 - GM/r1 = 0.5v2^2 - GM/r2
M is mass of sun = 1.98*10^30 kg
G = 6.67*10^-11 N.m^2/kg^2
0.5*(9*10^4)^2 - (6.67*10^-11*1.98*10^30/(5*10^10)) = 0.5v2^2 - (6.67*10^-11*1.98*10^30/(6*10^12))
v2 = 5.35*10^4 m/s
Give u = start velocity
v = end velocity
v = u + at
50 = 400 + a*30
30a = -350
a = -116.67 m/
**Why the accecleration is negative number**
Because displacement, velocity, and acceleration are VECTOR QUANTITIES.
Vector Quantity must have direction.
