The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, let's analyze the situation step by step. ### Given: - A planet revolves around a star with a time period \( T = 2 \) days. - The radius of the star is tripled, but the mass of the star remains the same. ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between time period, radius, and mass The time period \( T \) of a planet revolving around a star can be described by Kepler's third law of planetary motion, which states: \[ T^2 \propto r^3 \] where \( T \) is the time period and \( r \) is the orbital radius (distance from the star). ### Step 2: Analyze the effect of changing the radius of the star In this case, the radius of the star is tripled, but it is important to note that the distance between the planet and the star (the orbital radius) does not change. The mass of the star also remains constant. ### Step 3: Determine the time period after the change Since the orbital radius \( r \) remains unchanged, we can conclude that the time period \( T \) will also remain unchanged. Therefore, the new time period \( T' \) is still: \[ T' = T = 2 \text{ days} \] ### Step 4: Analyze the orbital velocity The orbital velocity \( v \) of the planet can be expressed as: \[ v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}} \] where \( G \) is the gravitational constant, \( M \) is the mass of the star, and \( r \) is the orbital radius. Since neither \( G \), \( M \), nor \( r \) has changed, the orbital velocity will also remain constant. ### Step 5: Analyze the potential energy The gravitational potential energy \( U \) between the planet and the star is given by: \[ U = -\frac{GMm}{r} \] where \( m \) is the mass of the planet. Since \( G \), \( M \), \( m \), and \( r \) remain unchanged, the potential energy will also remain constant. ### Conclusion - The time period remains the same at 2 days. - The orbital velocity remains constant. - The potential energy remains constant. ### Final Answer None of the options provided in the question are correct based on the analysis. The correct conclusions are: - Time period: remains the same (2 days). - Orbital velocity: remains constant. - Potential energy: remains constant.
