The kinetic energies of a planet in an elliptical orbit about the Sun, at positions \(A, B\) and \(C\) are \(K_A, K_B\) and \(K_C\), respectively. \(AC\) is the major axis and \(SB\) is perpendicular to \(AC\) at the position of the Sun \(S\) as shown in the figure. Then

- A \(K_A < K_B < K_C\)
- B \(K_A>K_B>K_C\)
- C \(K_B>K_A>K_C\)
- D \(K_B < K_A < K_C\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(K_A>K_B>K_C\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
point \(A\) is perihelion and \(C\) is aphelion. So, \({v_A} > {v_B} > {v_C}\)
