8.8 A comet orbits the sun in a highly elliptical orbit. Does the comet have a constant

(a) Linear speed

(b) Angular speed

(c) Angular momentum

(d) Kinetic energy

(e) Potential energy

(f) Total energy throughout its orbit?

Neglect any mass loss of the comet when it comes very close to the Sun

In the equation of angular displacement of a particle moving on a circular path is given as is in radian and t in second. Theq angular velocity of the particle at t = 2 s is

If an object is having same weight at same distance above and below the surface of earth, find its distance from surface of earth.

Two bodies of mass $\mathrm{m}$ and $9\mathrm{m}$ are placed at a distance $\mathrm{R}$ . The gravitational potential on the line joining the bodies where the gravitational field equals zero, will be ( $\mathrm{G}=$  gravitational constant):

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.

Assertion A : The escape velocities of planet Ad and B are same. But A and B are of unequal mass.

Reason R : The product of their mass and radius must be same. M₁ R₁ = M₂R₂

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

A solid sphere of radius R gravitationally attracts a particle placed at 3R form its centre with a force F₁,. Now a spherical cavity of radius $\left(\frac{R}{2}\right)$  is made in the sphere (as shown in figure) and the force becomes F₂. The value of F₁: F₂ is:
