A planet is revolving in an elliptical orbit around the Sun. Its closest distance from the Sun is r and the farthest distance is R. If the velocity of the planet nearest to the sun be v and that farthest from the Sun be V, then the ratio \(\frac{v}{V}\) equals
- \(\frac{R^{2}}{R^{2}}\)
- \(\frac{r^{2}}{r^{2}}\)
- \(\frac{\mathrm{R}}{\mathrm{r}}\)
- \(\frac{r}{R}\)
Answer
(C) R r
