The angular momentum of a planet of mass $M$ moving around the sun in an elliptical orbit is $\overrightarrow{ L }$. The magnitude of the areal velocity of the planet is:
$\frac{4 L }{ M }$
$\frac{L }{ M }$
$\frac{2L }{ M }$
$\frac{L }{2M }$
The orbital angular momentum of a satellite revolving at a distance $r$ from the centre is $L$. If the distance is increased to $16r$, then the new angular momentum will be
The planet Mars has two moons, phobos and delmos.
$(i)$ phobos has a period $7$ hours, $39$ minutes and an orbital radius of $9.4 \times 10^{3} \;km .$ Calculate the mass of mars.
$(ii)$ Assume that earth and mars move in circular orbits around the sun. with the martian orbit being $1.52$ times the orbital radius of the earth. What is the length of the martian year in days?
The relative uncertainty in the period of a sateilite orbiting around the earth is $10^{-2}$. If the relative uncertainty in the radius of the orbit is negligible, the relative uncertainty in the mass of the earth is
The maximum and minimum distances of a comet from the Sun are $1.6 \times 10^{12}\, m$ and $8.0 \times 10^{10}\, m$ respectively. If the speed of the comet at the nearest point is $6 \times 10^{4}\, ms ^{-1},$ the speed at the farthest point is ......... $\times 10^{3}\, m / s$
The maximum and minimum distances of a comet from the sun are $8 \times {10^{12}}\,m$ and $1.6 \times {10^{12}}\,m$. If its velocity when nearest to the sun is $60\, m/s$, what will be its velocity in $m/s$ when it is farthest
