Question
State Kepler's law of orbit and law of equal areas.
Advertisements
Solution 1
Ist law ( Law of orbit ) : The orbital path in the solar system is an ellipse with sun as one focus.
2nd law ( Law of equal area ) : The radius vector joining the centre of the planet to the centre of sun traces out equal area in equal intervals of time.
i.e.The area velocity of the planet is constant
Solution 2
All planet revolves around the sun in the elliptical orbit, the sun as one of its focus.
The line joining sun and planet sweeps the equal area in equal time interval i.e. Areal velocity is constant.

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.
