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.

    This is a Long Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar

    Explanation- when a body og mass m is revolving around a star of mass M.

    Linear velocity of the body  v= G M r  so when r increases then v decreases.

    Angular velocity of the body w = 2 π / T

    According to kepler’s law T2 r3

     So T= kr3/2

    So w= 2 π k r 3 / 2 so when r increases, w decreases.

    Kinetic energy of the body K= 1/2mv2=1/2m ( G M r )  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= G M m 2 r - G M m r = - G M m 2 r

    When r increases total energy becomes less negative . i.e increases.

  G M m ( R + x ) 2 = G M m ( R x ) R 3

->R3 = (R + x)2 (R – x)

->R3 = (R2– x2) (R + x)

->x2 + Rx – R2 = 0


x = R ± R + 4 R 2 2

x = ( 5 R 1 ) 2 R
