  • A
    $2:1$
  • B
    $1:8$

$Assertion$ : For the planets orbiting around the sun,angular speed,linear speed and $K.E.$ change with time,but angular momentum remains constant.
$Reason$ : No torque is acting on the rotating planet. So its angular momentum is constant.

Assume that the earth moves around the sun in a circular orbit of radius $R$ and there exists a planet which also moves around the sun in a circular orbit with an angular speed twice as large as that of the earth. The radius of the orbit of the planet is

$A$ satellite orbits the Earth in a circular orbit of radius $R$. Another satellite orbits in an orbit of radius $1.02 R$. What is the percentage increase in the time period of the second satellite compared to the first (in $\%$)?

The figure shows the motion of a planet around the sun in an elliptical orbit with the sun at the focus. The shaded areas $A$ and $B$ are also shown in the figure,which can be assumed to be equal. If ${t_1}$ and ${t_2}$ represent the time taken for the planet to move from $a$ to $b$ and $d$ to $c$ respectively,then:
