A planet moves around the sun. at a given point `P`, it is closest from the sun at a distance `d_(1)`, and has a speed `V_(1)`. At another point `Q`, when it is farthest from the sun at a distance `d_(2)`, its speed will be

A

`(d_(1)^(2)v_(1))/(d_(2)^(2))`

B

`(d_(2)v_(1))/(d_(1))`

C

`(d_(1)v_(1))/(d_(2))`

D

`(d_(2)^(2)v_(1))/(d_(1)^(2))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c

`mv_(1)d_(1)=mv_(2)d_(2) rArr v_(2)=(d_(1)v_(1))/(d_(2))`
