In a conservative force field we can find the radial component of force from the potential energy function by using F = -(dU)/(dr) . Here, a positive force means repulsion and a negative force means attraction. From the given potential energy function U(r ) we can find the equilibrium position where force is zero. We can also find the ionisation energy which is the work done to move the particle from a certain position to infinity. Let us consider a case in which a particle is bound to a certain point at a distance r from the centre of the force. The potential energy of the particle is : U(r )=(A)/(r^(2))-(B)/(r ) where r is the distance from the centre of the force and A andB are positive constants. Answer the following questions. The work required to move the particle from equilibrium distance to infinity is

A star like the sun has serveral bodies moving around it at different distance. Consider that all of them are moving in circular orbits. Let r be the distance of the body from the centre of the star and let its linear velocity be upsilon , angular velocity omega , kinetic energy K , gravitational potential energy U , total energy E and angular momentum L . As the radius r of the orbit increase, determine which of the above quantities increase and which ones decrease.
