The distance of a planet from the sun is 5 times the distance between the earth and the sun. The time period of the planet is:
1. | 53 / 2 years | 2. | 52 / 3 years |
3. | 51 / 3 years | 4. | 51 / 2 years |
A planet moves around the sun. At a point P, it is closest to the sun at a distance \(d_1\) and has speed \(v_1.\) At another point Q, when it is farthest from the sun at distance \(d_2,\) its speed will be:
1. | \(d_2v_1 \over d_1\) | 2. | \(d_1v_1 \over d_2\) |
3. | \(d_1^2v_1 \over d_2\) | 4. | \(d_2^2v_1 \over d_1\) |
If \(A\) is the areal velocity of a planet of mass \(M,\) then its angular momentum is:
1. | \(\frac{M}{A}\) | 2. | \(2MA\) |
3. | \(A^2M\) | 4. | \(AM^2\) |
Kepler's third law states that the square of the period of revolution (T) of a planet around the sun, is proportional to the third power of average distance r between the sun and planet i.e. T2= Kr3, here K is constant. If the masses of the sun and planet are M and m respectively, then as per Newton's law of gravitation, the force of attraction between them is F = , here G is the gravitational constant. The relation between G and K is described as:
1. GK = 42
2. GMK = 42
3. K = G
4. K =
The figure shows the elliptical orbit of a planet \(m\) about the sun \(\mathrm{S}.\) The shaded area \(\mathrm{SCD}\) is twice the shaded area \(\mathrm{SAB}.\) If \(t_1\) is the time for the planet to move from \(\mathrm{C}\) to \(\mathrm{D}\) and \(t_2\) is the time to move from \(\mathrm{A}\) to \(\mathrm{B},\) then:
1. | \(t_1>t_2\) | 2. | \(t_1=4t_2\) |
3. | \(t_1=2t_2\) | 4. | \(t_1=t_2\) |
