उत्तर
- The orbit of a planet is an ellipse with the Sun at one of the foci.
- The closer a planet is to the Sun, the greater will be its velocity.
- Areas ASB, CSD and ESF are equal when the planet covers distances AB, CD and EF in the same time.

The orbit of a planet revolving around a star is ______.
The square of its period of revolution around the sun is directly proportional to the ______ of the mean distance of a planet from the sun.
To verify Kepler's third law graphically four students plotted graphs. Student A plotted a graph of T (period of revolution of planets) versus r (average distance of planets from the sun) and found the plot is straight line with slope 1.85. Student B plotted a graph of T2 v/s r3 and found the plot is straight line with slope 1.39 and negative Y-intercept. Student C plotted graph of log T v/s log r and found the plot is straight line with slope 1.5. Student D plotted graph of log T v/s log r and found the plot is straight line with slope 0.67 and with negative X-intercept. The correct graph is of student

The centre of mass of an extended body on the surface of the earth and its centre of gravity ______.
- are always at the same point for any size of the body.
- are always at the same point only for spherical bodies.
- can never be at the same point.
- is close to each other for objects, say of sizes less than 100 m.
- both can change if the object is taken deep inside the earth.
A star like the sun has several bodies moving around it at different distances. Consider that all of them are moving in circular orbits. Let r be the distance of the body from the centre of the star and let its linear velocity be v, angular velocity ω, kinetic energy K, gravitational potential energy U, total energy E and angular momentum l. As the radius r of the orbit increases, determine which of the above quantities increase and which ones decrease.
A planet revolving in an elliptical orbit has:
