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 $r$. The correct relation for areal velocity is:

  • A
    $\frac{d A}{d t} \propto \omega r$
  • B
    $\frac{d A}{d t} \propto \omega^2 r$
  • C
    $\frac{d A}{d t} \propto \omega r^2$
  • D
    $\frac{d A}{d t} \propto \sqrt{\omega r}$

$A$ 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:

India's Mangalyaan was sent to Mars by launching it into a transfer orbit $EOM$ around the Sun. It leaves the Earth at $E$ and meets Mars at $M$. If the semi-major axis of Earth's orbit is $a_e = 1.5 \times 10^{11} \, m$ and that of Mars' orbit is $a_m = 2.28 \times 10^{11} \, m$, using Kepler's laws, estimate the time taken for Mangalyaan to reach Mars from Earth in days.
