7.Gravitation
medium
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
$\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{a}}=\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{b}}$
$\mathrm{mv}_{\mathrm{a}} \mathrm{r}=3 \mathrm{mv}_{\mathrm{b}} \mathrm{r}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{v_{a}}{v_{b}}=3: 1$
