An object of mass 50 is moving with a velocity of 12 m/s suddenly it breaks down into two parts, one of them move further with a velocity of 18 m/s and another went backwards with the velocity of 12 m/s find the mass of both parts. The kepler's second law is (dA/dt) = (L/2Mp) L = Mp * () = constant This result shows that the radius vector from the Sun to anyplanet sweeps out equal.
