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
