To find: The polar equation of the orbit and the distance between the surface of earth and satellite.
Answer to Problem 113RE
The polar equation of the orbit and the distance between the surface of earth and satellite are
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The low point above the surface of earth is
The high point above the surface of earth is
The radius of the earth is
The angle
Calculation:
The focal distances are
And
Add equation (1) and (2).
Substitute the value in equation (1).
Calculate the eccentricity.
The equation of the orbit is
At
The equation of the orbit is
The distance between the surface of the earth and satellite at
Therefore, the polar equation of the orbit and the distance between the surface of earth and satellite are
