JEE PYQ: Gravitation Question 7

Question 7 - 2021 (18 Mar Shift 2)

The angular momentum of a planet of mass M moving around the sun in an elliptical orbit is $\vec{L}$. The magnitude of the areal velocity of the planet is:

(1) $\frac{4L}{M}$

(2) $\frac{L}{M}$

(3) $\frac{2L}{M}$

(4) $\frac{L}{2M}$

Show Answer

Answer: (4)

Solution

Areal velocity $\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{1}{2}r \times v\sin\theta = \frac{L}{2M}$.
