    As shown in figure, a planet revolves in elliptical orbit around the sun, where K.E. of the planet is maximum :

    A)  at \[{{P}_{4}}\]                                

    B)  at \[{{P}_{1}}\]

    C)  at \[{{P}_{2}}\]                                

    D)  at \[{{P}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Since angular momentum is conserved          Therefore, \[{{I}_{1}}{{\omega }_{1}}={{I}_{2}}{{\omega }_{2}}\] or        \[MR_{1}^{2}{{\omega }_{1}}=MR_{2}^{2}{{\omega }_{2}}\] or        \[M{{R}_{1}}{{\upsilon }_{1}}=M{{R}_{2}}{{\upsilon }_{2}}\] At \[{{P}_{4}}\] the value of R is minimum Hence the velocity is maximum or kinetic energy will be maximum.
