Question #1 Report Error
Kepler's Second Law of planetary motion (Law of Areas) is a direct consequence of the conservation of:
A. Kinetic Energy
B. Angular Momentum
C. Total Mechanical Energy
D. Linear Momentum

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Kepler's Second Law states that the line joining a planet to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal intervals of time (areal velocity is constant). Because the gravitational force is a central force (acting strictly along the radius vector), it exerts zero torque on the planet. When net torque is zero, angular momentum is strictly conserved.
