Explanation Given: The table of values. Planet Mercury Venus Earth Mars a 5.79 10.8 15 22.8 T 0.241 0.615 1.00 1.88 Formula used: Kepler’s Third Law, T 2 a 3 = k Calculation: Let us evaluate the ratio T 2 a 3 for all the planets in the table. T 2 a 3 = 0.241 2 ( 5.79 × 10 10 ) 3 = 2.99 × 10 − 34 T 2 a 3 = 0.615 2 ( 10.8 × 10 10 ) 3 = 3.0 × 10 − 34 T 2 a 3 = 1 2 ( 15 × 10 10 ) 3 = 2.96 × 10 − 34 T 2 a 3 = 1...

In 1992,a NASA team began a project called Spaceguard Survey, calling for an international watch for comets that might collide with Earth. Why is it more difficult to detect a possible “doomsday comet” with a hyperbolic orbit than one with an elliptical orbit?

The distance from the planet Pluto to the sun is $4.43 \times 10^{9} km$ at perihelion and $7.37 \times 10^{9} km$ at aphelion. Use Exercise 24 to find the eccentricity of Pluto's orbit.

If P1 and P2 are two points on the conic whose angles θ1 and θ2 differ by 180° , show that the harmonic mean of their respectivve values of r is a constant ( you will need to look up what harmonic mean is).
