Draw the areal velocity versus time graph for Mars.

In planetary motion,the areal velocity of the position vector of a planet depends on the angular velocity $(\omega)$ and the distance of the planet from the sun $(r)$. If so,the correct relation for areal velocity is:

The period of a satellite in a circular orbit of radius $R$ is $T$. The period of another satellite in a circular orbit of radius $4R$ is:

Kepler's third law states that the square of the period of revolution $(T)$ of a planet around the sun is proportional to the cube of the average distance $(r)$ between the sun and the planet,i.e.,$T^2 = Kr^3$,where $K$ is a constant. If the masses of the sun and the planet are $M$ and $m$ respectively,then according to Newton's law of gravitation,the force of attraction between them is $F = \frac{GMm}{r^2}$,where $G$ is the gravitational constant. The relation between $G$ and $K$ is:

According to Kepler's law,the time period of a satellite varies with its radius as:
