A

`(r_(min))^(3)`

B

`(r_(max))^(3)`

C

`((r_(min) + r_(max))/(2))^(3)`

D

`((r_(min)r_(max))/(r_(min) + r_(max)))^(3)`

Assertion : The time period of a satellite revolving very close to the surface of earth is less. Reason : According to Kepler's law, square of time period of revolution is directly proportional to the cube of semi-major axis.

A planet of mass m is moving in an elliptical orbit about the sun (mass of sun = M). The maximum and minimum distances of the planet from the sun are r_(1) and r_(2) respectively. The period of revolution of the planet wil be proportional to :

If a and b are the nearest and farthest distances of a planet from the sun and the planet is revolving in an elliptical orbit, then square of the time period of revolution of that planets is directly proportional to

Two hypothetical planets 1 and 2 are moving in the same eliptical path as shown in the figure. If the planets are situated at minimum and maximum distance from the sun and one of the planet, say 1 , has speed v . Find the relative angular speed of the planets for the given situation.

Figure shows the motion of a planet around the Sun S in an elliptical orbit with the Sun at the focus. The shaded areas A and B are also shown in the figure which can be assumed to be equal. If t_(1) and t_(2) represent the time taken for the planet to move from a to b and c to d , respectively then

The figure shows the motion of a planet around the sun in an elliptical orbit with the sun at one focus. The shaded area SAB is twice that of SCD. If t_(1) and t_(2) are the times taken by the planet to move from A to B and C to D respectively, then
