A comet orbits a star in a strongly elliptical orbit. The comet and star are far from other massive objects. As the comet travels away from the star, how does the kinetic energy and potential energy of the system change?

the kinetic energy decreases and the potential energy Increases.

Explanation:

as the comet travels away from the star it gains an energy which it posses because of its position or state.once the comet moves away form the star the kinetic decreases until its lost all together to where the potential energy starts increasing.

The potential energy increase and the kinetic energy decrease.

current and voltage can both be different in different parts of a circuit so it matters where you place the ammeter and voltmete

what is the speed of a softball that travels 20m in 2secs

speed = 20/2 = 10 m/s
