If $r$ denotes the distance between the sun and the earth, then the angular momentum of the earth around the sun is proportional to
$r^3/r$
$r$
$\sqrt r$
$r^2$
Kepler's third law states that square of period of revolution $(T)$ of a planet around the sun, is proportional to third power of average distance $r$ between sun and planet i.e.
$\therefore \;{T^2} = k{r^3}$
here $K$ is constant.
If the masses of sun and planet are $M$ and $m$ respectively then as per Newton's law of gravitation force of attraction between them is $F = \frac{{GMm}}{{{r^2}}}$ , here $G$ gravitational constant . The relation between $G$ and $K$ is described as
The planet Mars has two moons, if one of them has a period $7\, hours,\, 30\, minutes$ and an orbital radius of $9.0 \times 10^{3}\, {km} .$ Find the mass of Mars.
$\left\{\operatorname{Given} \frac{4 \pi^{2}}{G}=6 \times 10^{11} {N}^{-1} {m}^{-2} {kg}^{2}\right\}$
What does not change in the field of central force
In planetary motion the areal velocity of position vector of a planet depends on angular velocity $(\omega )$ and the distance of the planet from sun $(r)$. If so the correct relation for areal velocity is
Remote sensing satellites move in an orbit that is at an average height of about $500 \,km$ from the surface of the earth. The camera onboard one such satellite has a screen of area $A$ on which the images captured by it are formed. If the focal length of the camera lens is $50 \,cm$, then the terrestrial area that can be observed from the satellite is close to ............... $A$
