In planetary motion, the areal velocity of the position vector of a planet depends on the angular velocity \((\omega)\) and the distance of the planet from the sun \((r)\). The correct relation for areal velocity is:
1. \(\frac{dA}{dt}\propto \omega r\)
2. \(\frac{dA}{dt}\propto \omega^2 r\)
3. \(\frac{dA}{dt}\propto \omega r^2\)
4. \(\frac{dA}{dt}\propto \sqrt{\omega r}\)

A planet is moving in an elliptical orbit. If T, V, E, and L stand, respectively, for its kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy, total energy and angular momentum about the center of the orbit, then:

1. T is conserved
2. V is always positive
3. E is always negative
4. the magnitude of L is conserved but its direction changes continuously
