S-I: The moon moves around the earth in a circular orbit and the earth moves around the sun in elliptical orbit then.
S-II: The sun's attraction on the earth and moon are external force acting on the centre of mass of the system

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

Both S-I and S-II are correct

Option A is correct because both statements accurately describe the motion of the moon and earth, and the forces acting on the system.

If a particle of mass m is moving in a horizontal circle of radius r with a centripetal force

\left( { - K/{r^2}} \right)

the total energy is Suppose the law of gravitational attraction suddenly changes and becomes an inverse cube law i.e.

F \propto \frac{1}{r^3}

, but still remaining a central force. Then Two satellites A and B go round a planet P is circular orbits having radii 16 R and 2 R respectively. If the speed of satellite A is

around the earth so as to rotate opposite to each other. If they collide inelastically and stick together as wreckage, the total energy of the system just after collision is Statement-1: There is almost no effect of rotation of earth at poles.
Statement-2: Because rotation of earth is about polar axis.
