A planet of mass m is in an elliptical orbit about the sun m < < M sun with an orbital period T . If A be the area of orbit, then its angular momentum would be
Options
- A2 m A T
- Bm A T
- Cm A 2 T
- D2 m A T
Correct answer
A. 2 m A T
Step-by-step solution
using Kepler's II nd law ; areal velocity = constant = L 2 m ⇒ d A d t = L 2 m ⇒ L = 2 m d A d t L = 2 m A T
