 | The gravitational acceleration on a planet is 20% less than that on the Earth. A rocket takes a man from the Earth to this planet. On neglecting the effect of all other bodies in the sky, which curve in the figure best describes the change in the man's weight with distance traveled? |

 | The figure shows the elliptical orbit of a planet with the Sun at the focus. The areas of regions 1 and 2 are the same. If the planet takes times t1 to go from one end to the other end of region 1 and t2 to go from one end to the other end of region 2, then what is the relationship between t1 and t2? | |
