A planet moving along an elliptical orbit is closest to the sun at a distance of r_{1} and farthest away at a distance of r2. If V_{1} and V_{2} are the linear velocities at these points respectively, then the ratio \frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}} is

  • Option 1)

    (r_{1}/r_{2})^{2}

  • Option 2)

    r_{2}/r_{1}

  • Option 3)

    (r_{2}/ r_{1})^{2}

  • Option 4)

    r_{1}/r_{2}

As we discussed in concept ID

Angular momentum of satellite -

L=mvr

L=sqrt{m^{2}GMr}

L= Angular momentum

m
ightarrow mass of satellite

- wherein

v depends on both the masses , mass of centre of body and mass of planet as well as radius of earth.

 

 According to conservation of Angular momentum

L_{1}=L_{2}

mv_{1}r_{1}=mv_{2}r_{2}

v_{1}r_{1}=v_{2}r_{2}

\frac{v_{1}}{v_{2}}=\frac{r_{2}}{r_{1}}


Option 1)

(r_{1}/r_{2})^{2}

Incorrect Option

Option 2)

r_{2}/r_{1}

Correct Option

Option 3)

(r_{2}/ r_{1})^{2}

Incorrect Option

Option 4)

r_{1}/r_{2}

Incorrect Option
