Figure shows a planet in an elliptical orbit around the Sun S. Where is the kinetic energy of the planet maximum?

a
P1
b
P2
c
P3
d
P4

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Here, angular momentum is conserved. According to it,I1w1= I2w2MR12ω1=MR12ω2,R1v1= R2v2At point P4, the value of R is minimum and hence the velocity is maximum or KE is maximum
