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.

The orbit of a planet moving around the Sun

  1. What is the conclusion about the orbit of a planet?
  2. What is the relation between velocity of planet and distance from sun?
  3. Explain the relation between areas ASB, CSD and ESF.

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

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


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 satellite is in an elliptic orbit around the earth with aphelion of 6R and perihelion of 2 R where R= 6400 km is the radius of the earth. Find eccentricity of the orbit. Find the velocity of the satellite at apogee and perigee. What should be done if this satellite has to be transferred to a circular orbit of radius 6R ?
