(a) Assuming that the earth is a sphere of radius 6400 km, with what velocity must a projectile be fired from the earth's surface in order that its subse- quent path be an ellipse with major axis equal to 80,000 km? (b) If the projectile is fired upwards at an angle 45° to the vertical, what would be the eccentricity of this ellipse? |
