The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements provided in the question, we will evaluate each statement one by one and determine their validity. ### Step 1: Evaluate Statement 1 **Statement 1:** If a body is projected from a satellite so as to escape, then its velocity of projection with respect to the satellite depends upon the direction of projection. **Analysis:** - The escape velocity from a satellite is the minimum velocity required for an object to break free from the gravitational pull of the satellite without any additional propulsion. - The escape velocity is given by the formula: \[ v_{escape} = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}} \] where \(G\) is the gravitational constant, \(M\) is the mass of the satellite, and \(R\) is the distance from the center of the satellite to the object. - The escape velocity is a scalar quantity and does not depend on the direction of projection; it only depends on the mass of the satellite and the distance from its center. - Therefore, **Statement 1 is false.** ### Step 2: Evaluate Statement 2 **Statement 2:** Speed of a planet revolving around the sun in an elliptical orbit is maximum at perigee and minimum at apogee. **Analysis:** - According to Kepler's laws of planetary motion, a planet moves faster when it is closer to the sun (at perigee) and slower when it is farther from the sun (at apogee). - The conservation of angular momentum states that the angular momentum \(L\) is constant: \[ L = mvr \] where \(m\) is mass, \(v\) is velocity, and \(r\) is the distance from the sun. - As \(r\) decreases (at perigee), \(v\) must increase to keep \(L\) constant. Conversely, as \(r\) increases (at apogee), \(v\) must decrease. - Therefore, **Statement 2 is true.** ### Step 3: Evaluate Statement 3 **Statement 3:** Gravitational field is conservative in nature. **Analysis:** - A conservative field is one in which the work done by the field on an object moving from one point to another is independent of the path taken. - The gravitational field is indeed conservative because the work done by gravity only depends on the initial and final positions, not the path taken. - This means that gravitational potential energy can be defined, and energy is conserved in gravitational interactions. - Therefore, **Statement 3 is true.** ### Conclusion - **Statement 1:** False - **Statement 2:** True - **Statement 3:** True The correct option based on the evaluation is **Option B** (False, True, True). ---
