An artificial satellite of mass m is moving along an elliptical path around the earth. The areal velocity of the satellite is proportional to
Options
- Am
- Bm - 1
- Cm 0
- Dm 1 2
Correct answer
C. m 0
Step-by-step solution
The areal velocity of the satellite does not depend on the mass of satellite. It only depends on area traveled per second, d A d t = L 2 m = m v r sin θ 2 m = v r sin θ 2
