If \(A\) is the areal velocity of a planet of mass \(M\), its angular momentum is

  1. A \(\frac{M}{A}\)
  2. B \(2 M A\)
  3. C \(A^2 M\)
  4. D \(A M^2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2 M A\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to Kepler's law of area, the areal velocity is given by \(A=\frac{L}{2 M}\) where, \(L=\) angular momentum, \(M=\) mass of planet and \(\quad A=\) areal velocity. Then, \(L=2 M A\)
