A planet moves around the Sun. It is closest to Sun at a distant `d_(1)` and has velocity `v_(1)` and farthest with distance `d_(2)`, its speed at this point 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

By conversation of angular momentum,
`L_(1)=L_(2)(or)mv_(1)d_(1)=mv_(2)d_(2)," "thereforev_(2)=(v_(1)d_(1))/(d_2)`
