A star like the sun has several bodies moving around it at different distances. Consider that all of them are moving in circular orbits. Let r be the distance of the body frm the centre of the star and let its linear velocity be v, angular velocity `omega`, kinetic energy K, gravitational potential energy U, total energy E and angular momentum p. As the radius r of the orbit increases, determine which of the above quantities increase and which one decrease.
