Eccentricity of an Elliptical Orbit |
2008-08-20 |
|
From Gina:
A satellite has an elliptical orbit around the earth with one focus at the earth’s
center, E. The earth’s radius is 4,000 miles. The highest point that the satellite is
from the surface of the earth is 800 miles, and the lowest is 200 miles.
What is the eccentricity of the satellite’s orbit?
