    Consider the following statements:
    1. The Earth does not move along its orbit at a constant rate
    2. The Earth moves fastest at perihelion and slowest at aphelion.
    The above statements are true of which, one of the following laws'?

    A)  Kepler's second law

    B)  New ton's second law of motion

    C)  Ohm's law

    D)  Newton's law of gravitation

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     The point of Kepler's Und law is that, although the orbit is symmetric, the motion is not. A planet speeds up as it approaches the sun, gets its greatest velocity when passing closest, then slowest down again and the earth moves fastest at perihelion and slowest at aphelion.
