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.

A star like the sun has several bodies moving around it at different distances. Consider that all of them are moving in circular orbits. Let r be the distance of the body from the centre of the star and let its linear velocity be v, angular velocity ω, kinetic energy K, gravitational potential energy U, total energy E and angular momentum l. As the radius r of the orbit increases, determine which of the above quantities increase and which ones decrease.
