    The earth moves in an elliptical orbit with the sun S at one of foci as shown in the figure. Its rotational kinetic energy is maximum at the point.                 

    A)  A

    B)  B         

    C)  C          

    D)  D                                 

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     \[{{K}_{rot}}=\frac{1}{2}I{{\omega }^{2}}\] \[J=J\omega =\]constant In planetary motion, angular momentum remains conserved. At A the moment of inertia is least. So, angular speed is maximum. So, at point .A rotational kinetic energy is maximum.
