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:

In a solar system, the time-period of revolution of a planet tracing a circular orbit of radius $R$ is proportional to :

If a planet revolves around the sun with an angular velocity $(\omega)$ and distance $(r)$,then the areal velocity of the planet is proportional to which of the following?

The figure shows the motion of a planet around the sun in an elliptical orbit with the sun at the focus. The shaded areas are equal. If $t_1$ and $t_2$ represent the time taken for the planet to move from $A$ to $B$ and $C$ to $D$ respectively,then:

Assertion $(A)$: Angular speed,linear speed,and kinetic energy change with time,but angular momentum remains constant for a planet orbiting the sun.
Reason $(R)$: Angular momentum is constant as no external torque acts on the planet.
