If a planet was suddenly stopped in its orbit supposed to be circular, show that it would fall onto the sun in a time `sqrt(2)/(8)` times the period of the plant's revolution.

If a planet were suddenly stopped in its circular orbit, how much time it would take to fall onto the Sun. Assume the planets time-period of revolution as T.

The distance of the planet Jupiter from the Sun is 5.2 times that of the Earth. Find the period of Jupiter's revolution around the Sun.

The period of revolution of a planet around the sun in a circular orbit is T. If a similar planet is revolving in a circular orbit of the same radius around the sun with its mass twice as that of planet, its period of revolution would be

The time period of revolution of a planet A around the sun is 8 times that of another planet B. The distance of planet A from the sun is how many times greater than that of the planet B from the sun

A planet revolves around the sun in an elliptical orbit. Suppose that the gravitational attraction between the sun and the planet suddenly disappear then the planet would move
