STANDARD Physics Kepler's Laws Match the Following Question
Match Column I with Column II.
A-s, B-p, C-q, D-r
A-p, B-q, C-r, D-s
A-r, B-s, C-p, D-q
A-r, B-p, C-q, D-s
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to Kepler's first law, all planets move in elliptical orbits with the sun situated at one of the foci. Kepler's second law is a consequence of the law of conservation of angular momentum. According to Kepler's third law, the square of the time period of revolution of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semimajor axis of the ellipse traced out by the planet i.e., T² ∝ a³. According to Newton's law of gravitation, everybody in the universe attracts every other body with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
