Statement-1 : A planet moves in a elliptical orbit around the sun. Its angular momentum remains constant.
Statement-2 : Gravitational force is a central force. Therefore, no torque acts on the planet with respect to the sun. As a result angular momentum remains conserved.

A

Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true.

B

Answer the following : Comets move around the sun in highly elliptical orbits. The gravitational force on the comet due to the sun is not normal to the comet's velocity in general. Yet the work done by the gravitational force over every complete orbit of the comet is zero. Why?

A ball rests upon a flat piece of paper on a table to. The paper is pulled horizontally but quickly towards right as shown. Relative to its initial position with respect to the table the ball (1) remains stationary if there is no friction between the paper and the ball (2) moves to the left if ther is a friction between the paper and the ball. (3) moves forward, i.e. in the direction in which the paper is pulled. Here, the correct statement/s is/ are

If Bohr’s quantisation postulate (angular momentum = nh/2pi) is a basic law of nature, it should be equally valid for the case of planetary motion also. Why then do we never speak of quantisation of orbits of planets around the sun?

A constant force acting on a body of mass 3.0 kg changes its speed from 2.0 m s^(-1) to 3.5 m s^(-1) in 25 s. The direction of the motion of the body remains unchanged. What is the magnitude and direction of the force ?
