A planet follows an elliptical orbit that brings it as close as 46 million km to a star and as far as 85 million km from the star. At both of these locations the velocity of the planet makes a right angle to the direction to the star. If the planet's speed is 38 km/s when it is farthest from the star, how fast is it moving when it is closest to the star?
