The distance of a planet from the sun is 55 times the distance between the earth and the sun. The time period of the planet is:
1. | 53/253/2 years | 2. | 52/352/3 years |
3. | 51/351/3 years | 4. | 51/251/2 years |
A planet moves around the sun. At a point P,P, it is closest to the sun at a distance d1d1 and has speed v1.v1. At another point Q,Q, when it is farthest from the sun at distance d2,d2, its speed will be:
1. | d2v1d1d2v1d1 | 2. | d1v1d2d1v1d2 |
3. | d21v1d2d21v1d2 | 4. | d22v1d1d22v1d1 |
If AA is the areal velocity of a planet of mass M,M, then its angular momentum is:
1. | MAMA | 2. | 2MA2MA |
3. | A2MA2M | 4. | AM2AM2 |
Kepler's third law states that the square of the period of revolution (TT) of a planet around the sun, is proportional to the third power of average distance rr between the sun and planet i.e. T2=Kr3T2=Kr3, here KK is constant. If the masses of the sun and planet are MM and mm respectively, then as per Newton's law of gravitation, the force of attraction between them is F=GMmr2,F=GMmr2, here GG is the gravitational constant. The relation between GG and KK is described as:
1. GK=4π2GK=4π2
2. GMK=4π2GMK=4π2
3. K=GK=G
4. K=1GK=1G
The figure shows the elliptical orbit of a planet mm about the sun S.S. The shaded area SCDSCD is twice the shaded area SAB.SAB. If t1t1 is the time for the planet to move from CC to DD and t2t2 is the time to move from AA to B,B, then:
1. | t1>t2t1>t2 | 2. | t1=4t2t1=4t2 |
3. | t1=2t2t1=2t2 | 4. | t1=t2t1=t2 |
If RR is the radius of the orbit of a planet and TT is the time period of the planet, then which of the following graphs correctly shows the motion of a planet revolving around the sun?
1. | ![]() |
2. | ![]() |
3. | ![]() |
4. | ![]() |
If two planets are at mean distances d1d1 and d2d2 from the sun and their frequencies are n1n1 and n2n2 respectively, then:

2. n22d32=n21d31n22d32=n21d31
3. n1d21=n2d22n1d21=n2d22
4. n21d1=n22d2n21d1=n22d2
The figure shows a planet in an elliptical orbit around the sun (S).(S). The ratio of the momentum of the planet at point AA to that at point BB is:

3. r2r1r2r1
4. r22r21r22r21
Two satellites S1S1 and S2S2 are revolving around a planet in coplanar and concentric circular orbits of radii R1R1 and R2R2 in the same direction respectively.
