Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) conservation of angular momentum

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to Kepler's second law of planetary motion, the radius vector joining planet to the sun sweeps out equal areas, in equal interval of time. i.e., \(\frac{\Delta A}{\Delta t}=\text { constant }\) According to figure, \(\mathbf{r}\) be the position vector of the planet…
