- Given that
and , identify the trajectory and then find the position and velocity vectors in polar coordinates.
- Relevant Equations
, ,
I think I have completed the exercise but since I have seldom used polar coordinates I would be grateful if someone would check out my work and tell me if I have done everything correctly. Thanks.
My solution follows.
Since it follows that the trajectory is an ellipse centered at the origin with axes and Now, and
so, since and we have that
My solution follows.
Since
