1.

Choose the correct statement. In planetary motionA. the speed along the orbit remains constantB. the angular speed remains constantC. the total angular momentum remains constantD. the radius of the orbit remains constant

Answer» Correct Answer - c
The orbits of planets are elliptical. The speed of the planet and its angular speed (or angular frequency) keep changing. Since no net torque acts on the planet, its angular momentum remains constant.
