प्रश्न
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.

उत्तर
The situation is shown in the diagram, where a body of mass m is revolving around a star of mass M.
Linear velocity of the body `v = sqrt((GM)/r)`
⇒ `v ∝ 1/sqrt(r)`
Therefore, when r increases, v decreases.
Angular velocity of the body `ω = (2π)/T`
According to Kepler's law of the period,
`T^2 ∝ r^3` ⇒ `T = kr^(3/2)`
Where k is a constant
∴ `ω = (2π)/(kr^(3/2))` ⇒ `ω ∝ 1/r^(3/2)` .....`(∵ ω = (2π)/T)`
Therefore, when r increases, ω decreases.
The kinetic energy of the body,
K = `1/2 mv^2`
= `1/2 m xx (GM)/r`
= `(GMm)/(2r)`
∴ `K ∝ 1/r`
Therefore, when r increases, KE decreases.
The gravitational potential energy of the body,
`U = - (GMm)/r` ⇒ `U ∝ 1/r`
Therefore, when r increases, PE becomes less negative i.e., increases.
Total energy of the body,
`E = KE + PE`
= `(GMm)/(2r) + (- (GMm)/r)`
= `- (GMm)/(2r)`
Therefore, when r increases, total energy becomes less negative, i.e., increases.
Angular momentum of the body,
`L = mvr`
= `mr sqrt((GM)/r)`
= `msqrt(GMr)`
∴ `L ∝ sqrt(r)`
Therefore, when r increases, angular momentum L increases.

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?
