    The distance between the sun and the earth be r then the angular momentum of the earth around the sun is proportional to :

    A) \[\sqrt{r}\]                         

    B) \[{{r}^{3/2}}\]

    C) \[r\]                                      

    D) none of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    According to Kepler's third law \[{{T}^{2}}\propto {{r}^{3}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[T\propto {{r}^{3/2}}\]                 \[\omega =\frac{2\pi }{T}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\omega \propto {{r}^{-3/2}}\] Now      \[L=m{{r}^{2}}\omega \] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[L\propto {{r}^{2}}\times {{r}^{-3/2}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[L\propto {{r}^{1/2}}\]
