A satellite goes along an elliptical path arounds earth. The rate of change of area swept by the same line joining earth and the satellite is proportional to :
Options
- Ar^ 1 / 2
- Br
- Cr^ 3 / 2
- Dr^2
Correct answer
A. r^ 1 / 2
Step-by-step solution
Areal velocity = d A d t = L 2 m = m v r 2 m = v r 2 = r 2 G M r = 1 2 G M r So, d A d t r
