In planetary motion,the areal velocity of the position vector of a planet depends on the angular velocity $\omega$ and the distance of the planet from the sun $r$. The correct relation for areal velocity is:

  • A
    $\frac{d A}{d t} \propto \omega r$
  • B
    $\frac{d A}{d t} \propto \omega^2 r$
  • C
    $\frac{d A}{d t} \propto \omega r^2$
  • D
    $\frac{d A}{d t} \propto \sqrt{\omega r}$
