Chapter 6.3, Problem 56E
Astronomy Halley’s comet has an elliptical orbit with the center of the sun at one focus. The eccentricity of the orbit is approximately 0.967. The length of the major axis of the orbit is approximately 35.88 astronomical units. (An astronomical unit is about 93 million miles.)
(a) Find an equation of the orbit. Place the center of the orbit at the origin and place the major axis on the x-axis.
(b) Use a graphing utility to graph the equation of the orbit.
(c) Find the greatest and least distances (the aphelion and perihelion, respectively) from the sun’s center to the comet’s center.

- A semielliptical arch over a tunnel for a one-way road through a mountain has a major axis of 50 feet and a height at the center of 10 feet. (a) Sketch the arch of the tunnel on a rectangular coordinate system with the center of the road entering the tunnel at the origin. Label the coordinates of the known points. (b) Find an equation of the semielliptical arch over the tunnel. (c) You are driving a moving truck that has a width of 8 feet and a height of 9 feet. Will the moving truck clear the opening of the arch?arrow_forwardSuspension Bridge In a suspension bridge the shape of the suspension cables is parabolic. The bridge shown in the figure has towers that are 600 m apart, and the lowest point of the suspension cables is 150 m below the top of the towers. Find the equation of the parabolic part of the cables, placing the origin of the coordinate system at the vertex. [Note: This equation is used to find the length of cable needed in the construction of the bridge.]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
- Prove that segment FV in Example 7 is the shortest distance between the Earth and the Sun. Hint: Refer to Exercise 63. EXAMPLE 7 The orbit of the Earth is approximately an ellipse, with the sun at one focus. The ratio of c to a called the eccentricity of the ellipse is about 162, and the length of the major axis is approximately 186,000,000 miles. How close does the Earth get to the sun?arrow_forwardComet Trajectories Some comets, such as Halley’s comet, are a permanent part of the solar system, traveling in elliptical orbits around the sun. Other comets pas through the solar system only once, following a hyperbolic path with the sun at a focus. The figure below shows the path of such a comet. Find an equation for the path, assuming that the closest the comet comes to the sun is 2109 mi and that the path the comet was taking before it neared the solar system is at a right angle to the path it continues on after leaving the solar system.arrow_forwardPlanetary Motion The dwarf planet Pluto moves in an elliptical orbit with the sun at one of the foci, as shown in the figure. The length of half of the major axis, a, is 3.67109 miles, and the eccentricity is 0.249. Find the least distance (perihelion) and the greatest distance (aphelion) of Pluto from the center of the sun.arrow_forward
- A comet moves in an elliptical orbit around a sun. The closest the comet gets to the sun is approximately 15 AU and the furthest is approximately 85 AU. The sun is one of the foci of the elliptical orbit. Letting the ellipse center at the origin and labeling the axes in AU, the orbit will look like the figure below. Use the graph to write an equation for the elliptical orbit of the comet.arrow_forwardFlashlight The light bulb in a flashlight is at the focus of the parabolic reflector, 1.5 centimeters from the vertex of the reflector (see figure).

- Encke’s comet travels about the sun in an elliptical orbit with the center of the sun at one focus. The major and minor axes of the orbit have lengths of approximately 4.420 astronomical units and 2.356 astronomical units, respectively. (An astronomical unit is about 93 million miles.) Find the greatest and least distances (the aphelion and perihelion, respectively). from the sun’s center to the comet’s center. Then use a graphing utility to graph the orbit of the comet.arrow_forwardHOW DO YOU SEE IT?
