EXAM I, PHYSICS 4304 - Texas Tech Physics & …

This problem requires that you know details about elliptic orbits. In parts a –f, I want NUMBERS with proper UNITS!! An asteroid, mass m = 8 (1020 kg, is in an elliptic orbit about the sun. The orbit eccentricity is ε = 0.65. The semi-major axis of the orbit is . a = 6 (1011 m. (All distances are measured from the center of the sun.) The sun ... ................
