  • A
    $\frac{dA}{dt} \propto \omega r$
  • B
    $\frac{dA}{dt} \propto \omega^2 r$
  • C
    $\frac{dA}{dt} \propto \omega r^2$

The time period of a satellite of the Earth is $5 \text{ hours}$. If the separation between the Earth and the satellite is increased to four times the previous value, the new time period of the satellite will be: (in $\text{ hours}$)

Kepler's third law states that the square of the period of revolution $(T)$ of a planet around the sun is proportional to the cube of the average distance $(r)$ between the sun and the planet,i.e.,$T^2 = Kr^3$,where $K$ is a constant. If the masses of the sun and the planet are $M$ and $m$ respectively,then according to Newton's law of gravitation,the force of attraction between them is $F = \frac{GMm}{r^2}$,where $G$ is the gravitational constant. The relation between $G$ and $K$ is:

$A$ planet revolves around the Sun in an elliptical orbit,where the semi-major axis $a$ is double the semi-minor axis $b$ $(a = 2b)$. The Sun is at the focus. Given that the planet takes $24$ hours to travel through the path $bed$ as shown in the figure,find the time taken by the planet to travel along the path $dab$.
