Question

Parametric equations for a general Keplerian orbit are Here is an independent variable. The solution is periodic in with period Delta are constants that determine the parameters of the orbit. Figure 2 shows the relation between and the spatial coordinates. In the figure, the coordinates are defined by with b = a[1 - e2]1/2 What kind of curve is the orbit? Determine x(Psi) and y(Psi). Determine xi(Psi) and eta(Psi). Express r as a function of Phi. The angular momentum is L = m r2 Determine L in terms of Hence verify that L is a constant of the motion. The energy is E = [1/2]m(dr/dt)2 + [1/2]mr2(d Phi/dt)2 - GMm/r. Determine E in terms of E must be a constant of the motion. Hence determine T and E from the equation that you obtained in (G). Write T in terms of the spatial orbit parameters and the force constant GM. Now express I and E in terms of a, e, GM. In figure 1, determine the Cartesian coordinates of the points P, A, and R (L) in figure1, determine the time t at the point R.
