Question 3 of 25 The diagram below shows the path of a comet around the Sun.
HEL PLEASE

How does the comet's energy change as it moves from point A to point D?
OA. KE increases, GPE increases
OB. KE decreases, GPE decreases
O C. KE decreases, GPE increases
OD. KE increases, GPE decreases

Explanation:

You didn't post the diagram so nobody can tell you the exact answer. However, I can give you an explanation that might help.

Kinetic Energy (KE) and Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) are oppositely proportional. Meaning if one goes up the other goes down. So they can't both increase or decrease; meaning A and B aren't options here.

Next, KE will go up if the comet gets closer to the sun. And GPE will go up if the comet goes further from the sun.

So with that in mind, look at your diagram and see what happens between Points A and D. If it gets. loser to the sun, then the answer is D. If it gets further from the sun, then the answer is C.

do you have a formula possibly
