Consider a planet moving in an elliptical orbit around the Sun. The work done on the planet by the gravitational force of the Sun

A satellite is in an elliptical orbit around a planet P. It is observed that the velocity of the satellite when it is farthest from the planet is 6 times less than that when it is closest to the planet . The ratio of distances between the statellite and the planet at closest and farthest points is :

The orbit of Pluto is much more eccentric than the orbits of the other planets. That is, instead of being nearly circular, the orbit is noticeably elliptical. The point in the orbit nearest to the Sun is called the perihelion and the point farthest from the Sun is called the aphelion. As Pluto moves from the perihelion to the aphelion, the work done by gravitational pull of Sun on Pluto is

The orbit of Pluto is much more eccentric than the orbits of the other planets. That is, instead of being nearly circular, the orbit is noticeably elliptical. The point in the orbit nearest to the Sun is called the perihelion and the point farthest from the Sun is called the aphelion. At perihelion, the gravitational potential energy of Pluto in its orbit has

Average distance of the earth from the sun is L_(1) . If one year of the earth =D days, one year of another planet whose average distance from the sun is L_(2) will be

During motion of a planet from perihelion to aphelion the work done by gravitational force of sun on it is

Statement I: The smaller the orbit of a planet around the Sun, the shorter is the time it takes to complete. Statement II: According to Kepler's third law of planetary motion, square of time period is proportional to cube of mean distance from Sun.

STATEMENT-1 When a conservative force performs positive work on a body, potential energy of the system decreases. STATEMENT-2 Work done by a conservative force does not produce any change in kinetic energy.
