$A$ planet is revolving around the sun in an elliptical orbit. Its closest distance from the sun is $r_{min}$,and the farthest distance from the sun is $r_{max}$. If the orbital angular velocity of the planet when it is nearest to the sun is $\omega$,then the orbital angular velocity at the point when it is at the farthest distance from the sun is:

  • A
    $\sqrt {\frac{{{r_{min}}}}{{{r_{\max }}}}} \,\omega $
  • B
    $\sqrt {\frac{{{r_{\max }}}}{{{r_{\min }}}}} \,\omega $
  • C
    $\frac{{{r^2}_{\max }}}{{{r^2}_{\min }}}\,\omega $
  • D
    $\frac{{{r^2}_{min}}}{{{r^2}_{\max }}}\,\omega $

Which one of the following statements is correct?

Two planets,$A$ and $B$,are orbiting a common star in circular orbits of radii $R_A$ and $R_B$,respectively,with $R_B = 2 R_A$. The planet $B$ is $4 \sqrt{2}$ times more massive than planet $A$. The ratio $\left(\frac{L_B}{L_A}\right)$ of angular momentum $(L_B)$ of planet $B$ to that of planet $A$ $(L_A)$ is closest to integer . . . . . . .

Two point masses of mass $m_1 = fM$ and $m_2 = (1 - f)M$ $(f < 1)$ are in outer space (far from the gravitational influence of other objects) at a distance $R$ from each other. They move in circular orbits about their centre of mass with angular velocities $\omega_1$ for $m_1$ and $\omega_2$ for $m_2$. In that case:

$A$ geostationary satellite is orbiting the earth at a height $5R$ above the surface of the earth,where $R$ is the radius of the earth. What is the time period (in hours) of another satellite orbiting at a height of $2R$ from the surface of the earth?

Two satellites $A$ and $B$ are orbiting in circular paths of radii $4R$ and $R$ respectively. If the orbital velocity of satellite $A$ is $3V$,what is the orbital velocity of satellite $B$ (in $V$)?
