Assertion : In planetary motion angular ...

Assertion : In planetary motion angular momentum of planet about centre of sun remains constant. But linear momentum of system does not remain constant.
Reason : Net torque on planet any point is zero.

A

If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is correct explanation of the Assertion.

B

If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explantion of Assertion.

C

If Assertion is true, but the Reason is false.

D

If Assertion is false but the Reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Force on planet is always centre of sun. Hence, torque is zero only about centre of sun.
