Draw the areal velocity versus time graph for Mars.
(N/A) According to Kepler's second law of planetary motion,the areal velocity (the rate at which the radius vector sweeps out area) of a planet revolving around the Sun is constant.
Since the areal velocity does not change with time,the graph of areal velocity versus time is a straight horizontal line parallel to the time axis,as shown in the figure.
