A satellite $S$ moves around a planet $P$ in an elliptical orbit as shown in figure. The ratio 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

$\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{a}}=\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{b}}$

$\mathrm{mv}_{\mathrm{a}} \mathrm{r}=3 \mathrm{mv}_{\mathrm{b}} \mathrm{r}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{v_{a}}{v_{b}}=3: 1$
