An artificial satellite of mass m is moving along an elliptical path around the earth. The areal velocity of the satellite is proportional to
  1. m
  2. m-1
  3. m0
  4. m12

Solution

The areal velocity of the satellite does not depend on the mass of satellite. It only depends on area traveled per second,

dAdt=L2m=mvrsinθ2m=vrsinθ2
