A satellite $S$ moves around a planet $P$ in an elliptical orbit as shown in figure. The ratio of the speed of the satellite at point $a$ to that at point $b$ is

A
$1 : 9$
B
$1 : 3$
C
$1:1$
D
$3:1$
Solution
$\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{a}}=\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{b}}$
$\mathrm{mv}_{2} \mathrm{r}=3 \mathrm{mv}_{\mathrm{b}} \mathrm{r}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{a}}}{\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{b}}}=3: 1$
