The figure shows elliptical orbit of a planet m about the sun S . The shaded area SCD is twice the shaded are SAB . It t₁ is the time for the planet to move from C to D and t₂ is the time to move from A to B then
Options
- At ₁= t ₂
- Bt₁>t₂
- Ct₁=4 t₂
- Dt₁=2 t₂
Correct answer
D. t₁=2 t₂
Step-by-step solution
Kepler's 2^ nd law aligned & ( A t )_ planet = constant & A ₁ t ₁ = A₂ t₂ & 2 ~A t ₁ = A t₂ & t ₁=2 t ₂ aligned
