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 from the centre of the star and let its linear velocity be v, angular velocity ω, kinetic energy K, gravitational potential energy U, total energy E and angular momentum l. As the radius r of the orbit increases, determine which of the above quantities increase and which ones decrease.

Explanation- when a body og mass m is revolving around a star of mass M.
Linear velocity of the body v= so when r increases then v decreases.
Angular velocity of the body w = 2
According to kepler’s law T2 r3
So T= kr3/2
So w= so when r increases, w decreases.
Kinetic energy of the body K= 1/2mv2=1/2m ( ) so when we increase r, KE decreases.
Gravitational potential energy of the body
U=-GMm/r
So when we increase r, PE becomes less negative
Total energy of the body E= KE+PE=
When r increases total energy becomes less negative . i.e increases.
