A star like the sun has several bodies moving around it at different distances. Consider that all of them are moving in circular orbits. Letr be the distance of the body from 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 I. As the radius r of the orbit increases, determine which of the above quantities increase and which ones decrease. As shown in figure, where a body of mass m is revolving around a star of mass M. Linear velocity of the body,

Torques of equal magnitude are applied to a hollow cylinder and a solid sphere, both having the same mass and radius.

An accelration produces a narrow beam of protons, each having an initial speed of v_(0) . The beam is directed towards an initially uncharges distant metal sphere of radius R and centered at point O. The initial path of the beam is parallel to the axis of the sphere at a distance of (R//2) from the axis, as indicated in the diagram. The protons in the beam that collide with the sphere will cause it to becomes charged. The subsequentpotential field at the accelerator due to the sphere can be neglected. The angular momentum of a particle is defined in a similar way to the moment of a force. It is defined as the moment of its linear momentum, linear replacing the force. We may assume the angular momentum of a proton about point O to be conserved. Assume the mass of the proton as m_(P) and the charge on it as e. Given that the potential of the sphere increases with time and eventually reaches a constant velue. The limiting electric potential of the sphere is
