In a planetary motion, the areal velocity of position vector of a planet depends on angular velocity ( ) and distance (r) of the planet from the sun. The correct relation for areal velocity ( d A d t ) is
Options
- Ad A d t r
- Bd A d t ^2 r
- Cd A d t r^2
- Dd A d t r
Correct answer
C. d A d t r^2
Step-by-step solution
Areal velocity, d A d t = L 2 m where, L= angular momentum d A d t = m r^2 2 m [ L=m r^2 ] r^2
