At what position in its elliptical orbit is the speed of a planet a maximum? when it is closest to the sun when it is farthest from the sun when it is midway between its farthest and closest distances to the sun everywhere in its orbit, the speed is constant (b) At what position is the speed a minimum? when it is closest to the sun when it is farthest from the sun when it is midway between its farthest and closest distances to the sun everywhere in its orbit, the speed is constant

Respuesta :

Answer:

1.when it is closest to the sun

2.when it is midway between its farthest

Explanation:

According to the law of  Kepler's

T ² ∝ r³

T=Time period

r=semi major axis

We also know that time period T given as

[tex]T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{v}[/tex]

v=Speed

[tex]v=\dfrac{2\pi r}{T}[/tex]

[tex]v\alpha \dfrac{r}{T}[/tex]

[tex]v\alpha \dfrac{r}{T}[/tex]

[tex]v^2\alpha \dfrac{r^2}{T^2}[/tex]

[tex]v^2\alpha \dfrac{r^2}{r^3}[/tex]

[tex]v^2\alpha \dfrac{1}{r}[/tex]

[tex]v\alpha \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{r}}[/tex]

So we can say that ,when r is more then the speed will be minimum and when r is low then speed will be maximum.
