Question:

Assume that the earth’s orbit is circular of radius R = 150 × 106 km (it is nearly circular with eccentricity e = 0.017). Find the rate at which the earth’s radial vector sweeps out area in units of square kilometers per second. What is the magnitude of the vector J = r × r for the earth (in units of square kilometers per second)?
