हिन्दीThe kinetic energies of a planet in an elliptical orbit about the Sun, at positions A, B and C are \( K_A \), \( K_B \) and \( K_C \), respectively. AC is the major axis and SB is perpendicular to AC at the position of the Sun S as shown in the figure. Then
Correct answer · Option 1
K_A < K_B < K_C
Explanation
By conservation of angular momentum and energy, velocity is maximum when closest to the Sun (point C) and minimum when farthest (point A). Therefore, \( K_A < K_B < K_C \).
