The figure shows elliptical orbit of a planet m about the sun S. The shaded are SCD is twice the shaded area SAB. If t1 is the time for the planet to move from C to D and t2 is the time to move from A to B then,

  • t1 > t2

  • t1 =4 t2

  • t1 = 2t2

  • t1 = 2t2


C.

t1 = 2t2

Apply Kepler's law of area fo planetary motion.

The line joining the sun to the planet sweeps out equal areas time interval ie, areal velocity is constant.
