Find an equation for the path of the satellite with the origin at the center of the earth.arrow_forwardLunar Orbit For an object in an elliptical orbit around the moon, the points in the orbit that are closest to and farthest from the center of the moon are called perilune and apolune, respectively. These are the vertices of the orbit. The center of the moon is at one focus of the orbit. The Apollo 11 spacecraft was placed in a lunar orbit with perilune at 68 mi and apolune at 195 mi above the surface of the moon. Assuming that the moon is a sphere of radius 1075 mi, find an equation for the orbit of Apollo 11. (Place the coordinate axes so that the origin is at the center of the orbit and the foci are located on the x-axis)arrow_forward
- Reflecting Telescope The Hale telescope at the Mount Palomar Observatory has a 200-in. mirror, as shown in the figure. The mirror is constructed in a parabolic shape that collects light from the stars and focuses it at the prime focus, that is, the focus of the parabola. The mirror is 3.79 in. deep at its center. Find the focal length of this parabolic mirror, that is, the distance from the vertex to the focus.arrow_forwardSatellite Dish A reflector for a satellite dish is parabolic in cross section, with the receiver at the focus F. The reflector is 1 ft deep and 20 ft wide from rim to rim (see the figure). How far is the receiver from the vertex of the parabolic reflector?arrow_forwardPool tables Find an equation in standard form of the outer edge of the elliptical pool table shown below.arrow_forward
