NEETPhysicsGravitationMCQ+4 / −1
A planet moving along an elliptical orbit is closest to the sun at a distance r1 and farthest away at a distance of r2. If 1 and 2 are the linear velocities at these points respectively, then the ratio is
- A(r1 /r2)2
- Br2/r1
- C(r2/r1)2
- Dr1/r2
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
Angular momentum is conserved
L1 = L2
mr1v1 = mr2v2
r1v1 = r2v2
