Verified
A comet while going on elliptical orbit around the Sun has constant angular momentum due to no external torque and total energy due to Law of conservation of energy at all locations but other quantities vary with locations.
(a) Since angular momentum is constant, is constant. As r changes in elliptical orbit, speed is not constant.
(b)
Since angular momentum is constant, is constant. As r changes in elliptical orbit, angular speed is not constant.
(c)
Angular momentum is constant because there is no external torque.
(d)
Since speed is not constant, Kinetic Energy is not constant.
(e)
Total energy is constant by law of conservation of energy.
Since is not constant, is not constant.
(f) Total energy is constant by law of conservation of energy.

(a) You can shield a charge from electrical forces by putting it inside a hollow conductor. Can you shield a body from the gravitational influence of nearby matter by putting it inside a hollow sphere or by some other means?
(b) An astronaut inside a small space ship orbiting around the earth cannot detect gravity. If the space station orbiting around the earth has a large size, can he hope to detect gravity?
(c) If you compare the gravitational force on the earth due to the sun to that due to the moon, you would find that the Sun's pull is greater than the moon's pull. However, the tidal effect of the moon's pull is greater than the tidal effect of the sun. Why?
