A star like the sun has several bodies moving around it at different
distances. Consider that all of them are moving in circular orbits.
Let r be the distance of the body from the centre of the star and let
its linear velocity be v, angular velocity w, kinetic energy K,
gravitational potential energy U, total energy E and angular
momentum l. As the radius r of the orbit increases, determine
which of the above quantities increase and which ones decrease.
