The maximum and minimum distances of a comet from the Sun are 1.6 $$\times$$ 10¹² m and 8.0 $$\times$$ 10¹⁰ m respectively. If the speed of the comet at the nearest point is 6 $$\times$$ 10⁴ ms^$$-$$1, the speed at the farthest point is :

A planet revolving in elliptical orbit has :

A. a constant velocity of revolution.

B. has the least velocity when it is nearest to the sun.

C. its areal velocity is directly proportional to its velocity.

D. areal velocity is inversely proportional to its velocity.

E. to follow a trajectory such that the areal velocity is constant.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Find the gravitational force of attraction between the ring and sphere as shown in the diagram, where the plane of the ring is perpendicular to the line joining the centres. If $$\sqrt 8 $$R is the distance between the centres of a ring (of mass 'm') and a sphere (mass 'M') where both have equal radius 'R'.

A solid sphere of radius R gravitationally attracts a particle placed at 3R from its centre with a force F₁. Now a spherical cavity of radius $$\left( {{R \over 2}} \right)$$ is made in the sphere (as shown in figure) and the force becomes F₂. The value of F₁ : F₂ is
