a.
To find: The polar equation of the parabolic path of the satellite.
a.
Answer to Problem 62E
The polar equation of the the parabolic path of the satellite is
Explanation of Solution
Given: Radius of earth is
Satillite is in a
Calculation:
By assuming the Earth is on a pole,
Eccentricity of a parabola is
By substituting the eccentriciy and the distance from focus to directrix,
Thus we can find the polar equation of the parabolic path of the satellite.
b.
To draw: A graph the polar equation found in part ‘a’.
b.
Answer to Problem 62E
Explanation of Solution
Given: Radius of earth is
Satillite is in a
By using the graphying the utility the above graph is the graph of
Thus we can graph the parabolic path of the satellite using a graphing utility.
c.
