Consider the Sun to be at the origin of an xy- coordinate system. A telescope spots an asteroid in the xy-plane at a position given by (2.0 ⋅ 1011 m,3.0 ⋅ 1011 m) with a velocity given by (−9.0 ⋅ 103 m/s, −7.0 ⋅ 103 m/s). What will the asteroid’s speed and distance from the Sun be at closest approach?
