1.	A comet orbits the sun in a height elliptical orbit. Does the comet have a constant (a) linear speed (b) angular speed (c ) angular momentum (d) kinetic energy (e) potential energy (f) total energy throughout its orbit ? Neglect any mass loss of the comet when it comes very close to the sun.
Answer» Solution :A comet while GOING on elliptical ORBIT around the SUN has constant angular momentum and total energy at all LOCATIONS but other quantities very with locations.
