Consider a planet moving in an elliptical orbit around the Sun. The work done on the planet by the gravitational force of the SunA. is zero in any small part of the orbitB. is zero in some parts of the orbitC. is zero in complete revolutionD. is zero in no part of the motion

Answer» Correct Answer - B::C
When a planet is on the major axis of the orbit, gravitational force on the planet is nomal to its motion. So, no work is done. As that energy remains the same, no work is done in complete revolution.
