Observe the given figure showing the orbit of a planet moving around the Sun and write the three laws related to it:
The orbit of a planet moving around the Sun
Write the Kepler's laws.
A planet is revolving around the sun in an elliptical orbit as shown in figure. At which point will its K.E. be maximum?
The earth moves around the sun in an elliptical orbit as shown in the figure. The ratio, `"OA"/"OB"` = x. The ratio of the speed of the earth at Band at A is ______.
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 planet revolves in an elliptical orbit around the sun. The semi-major and minor axes are a and b, then the time period is given by:
In our solar system, the inter-planetary region has chunks of matter (much smaller in size compared to planets) called asteroids. They ______.
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.
Draw areal velocity versus time graph for mars.
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?
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 ?
[G = 6.67 × 10–11 SI units and M = 6 × 1024 kg]
A planet revolving in an elliptical orbit has:
- a constant velocity of revolution.
- has the least velocity when it is nearest to the sun.
- its areal velocity is directly proportional to its velocity.
- areal velocity is inversely proportional to its velocity.
- to follow a trajectory such that the areal velocity is constant.
