1.	A comet orbits the sun in a highly 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.
