 What is the direction of areal velocity of the earth around the sun ? 

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`implies` Areal velocity,
`(dA)/(dt) = L/(2m) = (r xx mv) /(2m) = 1/2 (rxxv)`
where L is the angular momentum and m is the mass of the earth.
Hence, the direction of areal velocity  `((dA)/(dt))`  the direction of `(r xx v).`
