Hint: F_centripetal=mv^2/r pick from: (E=0, E=-U/2, E=U,E=U/2)

A probe is brought to rest a distance of 1.5x10^11 m from theSun, and allowed to fall directly into the Sun. How fast will theprobe be moving when it collides with the Sun? The mass of the Sunis 2.0x10^30 kg, and its radius is 7.0x10^8 m. Hint: Considerenergy conservation. pick from: (620 km/s, 42 km/s, 1.8x10^6 km/s,3.8x10^5 km/s)
