A satellite S is moving in an elliptical orbit around the earth. The mass of the satellite is very small as compared to the mass of the earth. Then,

• the angular momentum of S about the centre of the earth changes in direction, but its magnitude remains constant

• the total mechanical energy of S varies periodically with time

• the linear momentum of S remains constant in magnitude

• the linear momentum of S remains constant in magnitude

Point masses m₁ and m₂ are placed at the opposite ends of a rigid rod of length L and negligible mass. The rod of length L and negligible mass. The rod is to be set rotating about an axis perpendicular to it. The position of point P on this rod through which the axis should pass so that the work required to set the rod rotating with angular velocity ω₀ is minimum is given by
