Assertion: For the plantes orbiting around the sun, angular speed, linear speed, K.E. changes with time, but angular momentum remains constant.
Reason: No torque is acting on the rotating planet. So its angular momentum is constant.

A

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

B

If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Asseration.

C

If Assertion is true but the Reason is false.

D

If both Assertion and Reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Here both assertion and reason are true and reason is correct explanation of assertion.
In case of planet orbiting the sun, `tau = 0`
as `tau = (dvecL)/(dt), (dvecL)/(dt) = 0` or `L` is constant.
