1.

The earth moves around the Sun in an elliptical orbit as shown in Fig. The ratio `OA//OB=x`. The ratio of the speed of the earth at `B` to that at `A` is nearly A. `sqrtx`B. `x`C. `xsqrtx`D. `x^(2)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Applying conservation of angular momentum at position `A` and `B`
`mv_(A)xxOA=mv_(B)xxOB`
Hence, `(v_(B))/(v_(A))(OA)/(OB)=x`
