The comet will have the most gravitational potential energy at : ( B ) Point A
Given that the gravitational potential energy between two bodies is expressed as
Ux = - GMm / d ------ ( 1 )
where :
G = gravitational constant
M = mass of larger body ( sun )
m = mass of comet
d = distance between the bodies
Therefore the greater the distance ( d ) between the bodies the less negative the potential gravitational energy the smaller body will possess. from the image attached below, the point on the orbit that is farthest from the sun is Point A
Hence we can conclude that the comet will have the most gravitational potential energy at : ( B ) Point A
