उत्तर

  1. Kepler’s first law: The orbit of a planet is an ellipse with the sun at one of the foci.
  2. Kepler’s second law: The line joining the planet and the sun sweeps equal areas in equal intervals of time.
  3. Kepler’s third law: The square of the orbital period of revolution of a planet around the Sun is directly proportional to the cube of the mean distance of the planet from the Sun.

State Kepler’s laws.


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

  1. all three of Kepler’s laws would still be valid.
  2. only the third law will be valid.
  3. the second law will not change.
  4. the first law will still be valid.

Give one example each of central force and non-central force.


Out of aphelion and perihelion, where is the speed of the earth more and why?


Earth’s orbit is an ellipse with eccentricity 0.0167. Thus, earth’s distance from the sun and speed as it moves around the sun varies from day to day. This means that the length of the solar day is not constant through the year. Assume that earth’s spin axis is normal to its orbital plane and find out the length of the shortest and the longest day. A day should be taken from noon to noon. Does this explain variation of length of the day during the year?


The maximum and minimum distances of a comet from the Sun are 1.6 × 1012 m and 8.0 × 1010 m respectively. If the speed of the comet at the nearest point is 6 × 104 ms-1, the speed at the farthest point is ______.


Halley's Comet revolves around the sun for a time period of 76 years. The aphelion distance if perihelion is given by 8.9 × 1010 m, will be ______.

(Take, the mass of sun = 2 × 1030 kg and G = 6.67 × 10-11 Nm3/kg2)
