What is the direction of areal velocity of the earth around the sun?
Advertisements
उत्तर
Areal velocity of the earth around the sun is given by `(dA)/(dt) = L/(2m)` where L is the angular momentum and m is the mass of the earth.
But angular momentum `L = r xx p = r xx mv`
∴ Areal velocity `((dA)/(dt)) = 1/(2m) (r xx mv) = 1/2 (r xx v)`
Therefore, the direction of areal velocity `((dA)/(dt))` is the direction of `(r xx v)`, i.e., perpendicular to the plane containing r and v and directed as given by the right-hand rule.

To verify Kepler's third law graphically four students plotted graphs. Student A plotted a graph of T (period of revolution of planets) versus r (average distance of planets from the sun) and found the plot is straight line with slope 1.85. Student B plotted a graph of T2 v/s r3 and found the plot is straight line with slope 1.39 and negative Y-intercept. Student C plotted graph of log T v/s log r and found the plot is straight line with slope 1.5. Student D plotted graph of log T v/s log r and found the plot is straight line with slope 0.67 and with negative X-intercept. The correct graph is of student
