will be elliptical.
will not be strictly elliptical because the total gravitational force on it is not central.
is not elliptical but will necessarily be a closed curve.
deviates considerably from being elliptical due to influence of planets other than earth.

उत्तर
Both earth and moon are subject to the gravitational force of the sun. As observed from the sun, the orbit of the moon will not be strictly elliptical because the total gravitational force on it is not central.
Explanation:
The moon revolves around the earth in a nearly circular orbit. When it is observed from the sun, two types of forces are acting on the moon one is due to gravitational attraction between the sun and the moon and the other is due to gravitational attraction between the earth and the moon. So the moon is moving under the combined gravitational pull acting on it due to the earth and the sun. Hence, the total force on the moon is not central.

The third law of Kepler is also known as the Law of ______.
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

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.
