The correct Answer is:
To solve the given question, we need to analyze the assertion and the reason provided: **Assertion:** Kepler's second law can be understood by the conservation of angular momentum principle. **Reason:** Kepler's second law is related to areal velocity, which can further be proved to be used on conservation of angular momentum as \( \frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{r^2 \omega}{2} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Kepler's Second Law:** - Kepler's second law, also known as the law of areas, states that a line segment joining a planet to the Sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time. This implies that the areal velocity (area swept per unit time) is constant. 2. **Areal Velocity:** - The areal velocity \( \frac{dA}{dt} \) can be expressed in terms of the radius \( r \) and the angular velocity \( \omega \). The area \( A \) swept out by the radius vector in a small time interval \( dt \) can be approximated as: \[ dA = \frac{1}{2} r^2 d\theta \] - Therefore, the areal velocity is given by: \[ \frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{1}{2} r^2 \frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{1}{2} r^2 \omega \] 3. **Conservation of Angular Momentum:** - Angular momentum \( L \) for a planet moving in an orbit is given by: \[ L = mvr = m r^2 \omega \] - Since there are no external torques acting on the planet, the angular momentum is conserved: \[ L = \text{constant} \] - This means that \( m r^2 \omega \) remains constant, which implies that the product \( r^2 \omega \) is also constant for a given mass \( m \). 4. **Connecting Kepler's Second Law and Angular Momentum:** - From the expression for areal velocity, we see that: \[ \frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{1}{2} r^2 \omega \] - Since \( r^2 \omega \) is constant (due to conservation of angular momentum), it follows that \( \frac{dA}{dt} \) is also constant. This directly supports Kepler's second law. 5. **Conclusion:** - Both the assertion and reason are true. The assertion that Kepler's second law can be understood through the conservation of angular momentum is valid, and the reason provides a correct explanation of this relationship. ### Final Answer: Thus, the answer is that both statements are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
