A planet is revolving around the sun as shown in elliptical path. The correct option is

A

its total energy is negative at D.

B

its angular momentum is constant

C

net torque on planet about sun is zero.

D

linear momentum of the planet is conserved.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C
For (A): for bounded system the total energy is always negative.
For (B): for centrel force field, angular momentum is always conserved
For (C): for central force field torque `=0`
for (D): in presence of external force, linear momentum is conserved.
