The following question based on mechanics (mass, force, acceleration, work, energy, momentum, velocity) topic of general science mcq

Questions : Kepler’s second law (law of area) is nothing but a statement of

(a) conservation of angular momentum

(b) conservation of linear momentum

(c) work energy theorem

(d) conservation of energy

The correct answers to the above question in:

Answer: (a)

From Kepler's $2^{nd}$ law – The straight line joining the sun and the planet sweeps out equal areas in equal time intervals (${dA}/{dt}$ = const; area swept)

Areal velocity of the satellite is given by

${dA}/{dt}=1/2ωr^2 = const. = L/{2m}$

where ω = angular velocity of the satellite

L = mvr = mω$r^2$ = const, showing that Kepler's $2^nd$ law is a consequence of the conservation of angular momentum.
