NEET Physics Kepler's Laws Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Kepler's second law states that the line joining a planet to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal times.
Reason (R): Angular momentum conservation leads to Kepler’s second law and holds for any central force.
Both A and R are true and R explains A.
Both A and R are true but R does not explain A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Kepler's second law is a result of the conservation of angular momentum, which applies to any central force, as stated in the NCERT context.
