The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the motion of a planet revolving around the sun, focusing on its characteristics at apogee and perigee. We will derive relationships between the velocities, distances, and the time period of revolution, and then identify the incorrect statement among the options provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem:** - The planet has two key positions in its orbit: apogee (farthest point from the sun) and perigee (closest point to the sun). - At apogee, the distance from the sun is \( r_A \) and the velocity is \( V_A \). - At perigee, the distance from the sun is \( r_P \) and the velocity is \( V_P \). - The mass of the planet is \( m \) and the mass of the sun is \( M \). - The time period of revolution is \( T \). 2. **Applying Conservation of Angular Momentum:** - The angular momentum \( L \) of the planet at any point in its orbit is given by: \[ L = m \cdot V \cdot r \] - At perigee: \[ L_P = m \cdot V_P \cdot r_P \] - At apogee: \[ L_A = m \cdot V_A \cdot r_A \] - By conservation of angular momentum: \[ L_P = L_A \implies m \cdot V_P \cdot r_P = m \cdot V_A \cdot r_A \] - Simplifying gives: \[ V_P \cdot r_P = V_A \cdot r_A \] - This implies that the product of velocity and distance is constant. 3. **Analyzing Velocities:** - Since \( r_A > r_P \) (the distance at apogee is greater than at perigee), it follows that: \[ V_A < V_P \] - Therefore, the velocity at apogee is less than the velocity at perigee. 4. **Finding the Time Period:** - The gravitational force provides the centripetal force required for circular motion: \[ F_g = \frac{G M m}{r^2} = \frac{m V^2}{r} \] - For an elliptical orbit, we can use the average distance \( a \) (semi-major axis): \[ a = \frac{r_A + r_P}{2} \] - The orbital velocity can be expressed as: \[ V = \sqrt{\frac{G M}{a}} \] - The time period \( T \) can be derived using Kepler's third law: \[ T^2 = \frac{4 \pi^2 a^3}{G M} \] - Substituting \( a \): \[ T^2 = \frac{4 \pi^2}{G M} \left(\frac{r_A + r_P}{2}\right)^3 \] 5. **Identifying the Incorrect Statement:** - Based on the analysis: - Option A: Correct (relates to time period). - Option C: Correct (relates to angular momentum). - Option D: Correct (relates to velocity comparison). - Option B: Incorrect (likely misstates a relationship). ### Conclusion: The incorrect statement is **Option B**.
