If two planets are at mean distances \(d_1\) and \(d_2\) from the sun and their frequencies are \(n_1\) and \(n_2\) respectively, then:
1. \(n^2_1d^2_1= n_2d^2_2\)
2. \(n^2_2d^3_2= n^2_1d^3_1\)
3. \(n_1d^2_1= n_2d^2_2\)
4. \(n^2_1d_1= n^2_2d_2\)
The distance of a planet from the sun is \(5\) times the distance between the earth and the sun. The time period of the planet is:

| 3. | \(5^{1/3}\) years | 4. | \(5^{1/2}\) years |
The figure shows the elliptical orbit of a planet \(m\) about the sun \({S}.\) The shaded area \(SCD\) is twice the shaded area \(SAB.\) If \(t_1\) is the time for the planet to move from \(C\) to \(D\) and \(t_2\) is the time to move from \(A\) to \(B,\) then:

| 1. | \(t_1=3t_2\) | 2. | \(t_1=4t_2\) |
| 3. | \(t_1=2t_2\) | 4. | \(t_1=t_2\) |

If \(R\) represents the orbital radius of a planet and \(T\) its orbital period, which of the following graphs correctly depicts the relationship between \(R\) and \(T\) for a planet revolving around the Sun?

4. | ![]() |
Two satellites \(S_1\) and \(S_2\) move in the same direction in coplanar, concentric circular orbits of radii \(R_1\) and \(R_2.\) Their orbital periods are \(1~\text{hr}\) and \(8~\text{hr}\) respectively. If \(R_1=10^4~\text{km},\) what is their relative speed when they are closest to each other?
1. \(2\pi \times 10^4~\text{kmph}\)

4. \(\dfrac{\pi}{3} \times 10^4~\text{kmph}\)
Two planets orbit a star in circular paths with radii \(R\) and \(4R,\) respectively. At a specific time, the two planets and the star are aligned in a straight line. If the orbital period of the planet closest to the star is \(T,\) what is the minimum time after which the star and the planets will again be aligned in a straight line?

| 1. | \((4)^2T\) | 2. | \((4)^{\frac13}T\) |
| 3. | \(2T\) | 4. | \(8T\) |
In planetary motion, the areal velocity of the position vector of a planet depends on the angular velocity \((\omega)\) and the distance of the planet from the sun \((r)\). The correct relation for areal velocity is:
1. \(\frac{dA}{dt}\propto \omega r\)
2. \(\frac{dA}{dt}\propto \omega^2 r\)
3. \(\frac{dA}{dt}\propto \omega r^2\)
4. \(\frac{dA}{dt}\propto \sqrt{\omega r}\)
If \(A\) is the areal velocity of a planet of mass \(M,\) then its angular momentum is:
| 1. | \(\frac{M}{A}\) | 2. | \(2MA\) |
| 3. | \(A^2M\) | 4. | \(AM^2\) |
