As a planet orbits the Sun in an elliptical orbit, which of the following quantities is NOT conserved?
a) the momentum p
b) the angular momentum L
c) the mechanical energy E = K + V
d) All three of these quantities are conserved.
Homework Answers
Accordung to the bohr model of atom we know mvr = nh/2π
So the angular momentun is conserved.
Now in every orbit the total mechanical energy is always conserved.
So the linear momentum is not conserved in the elliptical orbit.
So, the correct option is A.

A comet moves about the Sun in an elliptical orbit, with its closest approach to the Sun being about 0.620 AU and its greatest distance from the sun being 35.5 AU (1 AU = the Earth-Sun distance). If the comet's speed at closest approach is 54.0 km/s, what is its speed when it is farthest from the Sun? (The gravitational force exerted by the Sun on the comet is parallel to the moment arm, so exerts no torque. Therefore, angular...

A moon of mass m orbits around a non-rotating planet of mass M with orbital angular velocity . The moon also rotates about its own axis with angular velocity .
1. A moon of mass \(m\) orbits around a non-rotating planet of mass \(M\) with orbital angular velocity \(\Omega\). The moon also rotates about its own axis with angular velocity \(\omega\). The axis of rotation of the moon is perpendicular to the plane of the orbit. Let \(I\) be the moment of inertia of the moon about its own axis. You can assume \(m<<M\)so that the center ofmass of the system is at the center of the planet.(a) What is...
