A celestial body, not bound to sun, will only pass by the sun once. Calculate the minimum speed of such a body when it is at a distance of 1.5xx10^(11)m from the sun (this is verage distancebetween the sun & the earth and is known as astronomical unit- A.U.) The mass of the sun is M underline~2xx10^(30)kg. G=6.67xx10^(-11)(N-m^(2))/(kg^(2)) Show that this speed is sqrt(2) times greater than speed of earth around the sun, assuming circular trajectory

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R. Assertion A : For a simple microscope, the angular size of the object equals the angular size of the image. Reason R : Magnification is achieved as the small object can be kept much closer to the eye than 25 cm and hence it subtends a large angle. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

Astronomical distances are so large compared to terrestrial ones that much larger units of length are used for easy comprehension of the relative distances of astronomical objects. An astronomical unit (AU) is equal to the average distance from Earth to the Sun, 1.50xx10^(8)km . A parsec (pc) is the distance at which 1 AU would subtend an angle of 1 second of arc. A light year (ly) is the distance that light, traveling through a vacuum with a speed of 3.00xx10^(5) km/s, would cover in 1 year. Express a light - year and a parsec in kilometers.
