Assertion (A)
Angular speed, linear speed and kinetic energy change with time but angular momentum remains constant for a planet orbiting the sun.
Reason (R) Angular momentum is constant as no torque acts on the planet.

  1. A Both \(\mathrm{A}\) and \(\mathrm{R}\) are true and \(\mathrm{R}\) is a correct explanation for \(A\).
  2. B Both \(\mathrm{A}\) and \(\mathrm{R}\) are true but \(\mathrm{R}\) is not a correct explanation for \(A\).
  3. C \(A\) is true, \(R\) is false.
  4. D \(A\) is false, \(R\) is true.

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Both \(\mathrm{A}\) and \(\mathrm{R}\) are true and \(\mathrm{R}\) is a correct explanation for \(A\).

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As we know that, Torque is the moment of force and torque \((\tau)=\mathbf{r} \times \mathbf{F}\) where, \(\mathbf{r}\) is distance between axis of rotation and force \((F)\). Also, \(\tau=\frac{d L}{d t}\) and since, in space there is no external torque is applied so,…
