A planet moving along an elliptical orbit is closest to the sun at a distance `r_1` and farthest away at a distance `r_2`. If `v_1` and `v_2` are the linear velocities at these points respectively, then the ratio `v_1/v_2` is

A

`r_1/r_2`

B

`r_2/r_1`

C

`(r_2/r_1)^2`

D

`(r_1/r_2)^2`

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.

If a body travels for time 't' with speed v_1 and then it further travels for time 't' with speed v_2 find the average speed.
