$A$ planet moves around the sun. At a given point $P$,it is closest to the sun at a distance $d_1$ and has a speed $v_1$. At another point $Q$,when it is farthest from the sun at a distance $d_2$,its speed will be:

  • A
    $\frac{d_1^2 v_1}{d_2^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{d_2 v_1}{d_1}$
  • C
    $\frac{d_1 v_1}{d_2}$
  • D
    $\frac{d_2^2 v_1}{d_1^2}$
