JEE MAIN - Physics (2019 - 9th January Morning Slot - No. 11)

If the angular momentum of a planet of mass m, moving around the Sun in a circular orbit is L, about the center of the Sun, its areal velocity is :
$${L \over m}$$
$${4L \over m}$$
$${L \over 2m}$$
$${2L \over m}$$

Explanation

JEE Main 2019 (Online) 9th January Morning Slot Physics - Rotational Motion Question 176 English Explanation

dA = $${1 \over 2}$$ r2d$$\theta $$

$$ \therefore $$   $${{dA} \over {dt}} = {1 \over 2}{r^2}{{d\theta } \over {dt}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$   $${{dA} \over {dt}} = {1 \over 2}{r^2}\omega $$    . . . . . (1)

We know,

angular momentum,

L = $$mvr$$

= $$m\left( {\omega r} \right)r$$

= mr2$$\omega $$

$$ \therefore $$   $$\omega $$ = $${L \over {m{r^2}}}$$     . . . . . (2)

Put value of $$\omega $$ in equation(1),

$${{dA} \over {dt}}$$ = $${1 \over 2}{r^2}$$ ($${L \over {m{r^2}}}$$)

= $${L \over {2m}}$$
