A plenet moving along an elliptical orbit is closest to the sun at a distance `r_(1)` and farthest away at a distance of `r_(2)`. If `v_(1)` and `v_(2)` are the linear velocities at these points respectively, then the ratio `(v_(1))/(v_(2))` isA. `r_(2)//r_(1)`B. `(r_(2)//r_(1))^(2)`C. `r_(1)//r_(2)`D. `(r_(1)//r_(2))^(2)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
From the law of coservation of angular momentum
`m_(1)v_(1)=mr_(2)v_(2)`
`r_(1)v_(1)=r_(2)v_(2)`
`(v_(1))/(v_(2))=(r_(2))/(r_(1))`
