Question

A star has a single planet in orbit about it. The planet orbits the star in a counter-clockwise direction as indicated by the arfow in the diagram below. Both the star and the planet are very, very far away from any other obje E D is the direction of the net force acting on the planet as it passes location W. Choose the direction as indicated by one of the arrows labeled A through H to the right of the orbit in the diagram. Submit Answer Tries 0/4 decreasing As the planet passes point W in its orbit, its speed is_

Explanation / Answer

1. Answer F

2. As a consequence of conservation of Angular momentum

R x m x V = constant.. as planet is passing through point w, its distance r is decreasing, therefore V should increase.

Answer increasing
