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

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2MA\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Areal velocity \(A=\frac{1}{2} R^2 \omega\) \(\therefore \quad\) Multiplying by \(M\) on both sides \[ \begin{aligned} M A & =\frac{1}{2} M R^2 \omega \\ M A & =\frac{1}{2} I \omega \end{aligned} \] \(I=\) moment of inertia. \[ M A=\frac{1}{2} L \] where, \(L=\) angular momentum…
