If the gravitational force between two objects were proportional to \(\frac{1}{R}\) (and not as 1/R2) where \(R\) is the separation between them, then a particle in circular orbit under such a force would have its orbital speed v proportional to:

1. 1/R2                        

2. R

3. R1                             

4. \(1/R\)

A satellite S is moving in an elliptical orbit around the earth. If the mass of the satellite is very small as compared to the mass of the earth, then:

1. The angular momentum of S about the centre of the earth changes in direction, but its magnitude remains constant.
2. The total mechanical energy of S varies periodically with time.
3. The linear momentum of S remains constant in magnitude.
4. The acceleration of S is always directed towards the centre of the earth.
