Question
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 v1 and v2 are the linear velocities at these points respectively,the the ratio 
is
is Options
A.(r1 / r2)2
B.r2 / r1
C.(r2 / r1)2
D.r1 / r2
Solution
According to the law of conservation of anular momentum
L1 = L2
L1 = L2
