Find the angular momentum of halleys comet at perihelion


Halley's comet, which passes around the Sun every 76 years, has an elliptical orbit. When closest to the Sun (perihelion) it is at a distance of 8.823 x 1010m and moves with a speed of 54.6 km/s. When farthest from the Sun (aphelion) it is at a distance of 6.152 x 1012m and moves with a speed of 783m/s. Find the angular momentum of Halley's comet at perihelion. (Take the mass of Halley's comet to be 9.8 x 1014kg.) Find the angular momentum of Halley's comet at aphelion.
