Assertion : Angular momentum of a planet is constant about any point Reason : For acting on the planet is a central force.

Moment of concurrent forces about any point is constant. If vector sum of all concurrent forces is zero, then moment of all the forces about any point is also zero.

Assertion: Linear momentum of a planet does not remain conserved. Reason: Gravitational force acts on it.

A : Angular momentum of a satellite about a planet is constant . R :Gravitational force is a central force so its torque about the sun is zero .

Assertion : In planetary motion angular momentum of planet about centre of sun remains constant. But linear momentum of system does not remain constant. Reason : Net torque on planet any point is zero.

Assertion : If a particle moves with a constant velocity, then angular momentum of this particle about any point remains constant. Reason : Angular momentum has the units of Plank's constant.

Assertion : Angular speed of a planet around the sun increases, when it is closer to the sun. Reason : Total angular momentum of the system remains constant.

A : If angular momentum of an object is constant about a point then net torque on it about that point is zero. R : Torque is equal to the rate of change of angular momentum.

Statement-1: If the resultant of all the forces acting on a system is zero then the torque on the system about any point is same. Statement-2: If the resultant of the forces acting on a system is zero then acceleration of its centre of mass is zero.
