Question

The eccentricity of earth orbit is 0.0167. The ratio of its maximum and minimum speeds in this orbit will be

Answer 1

The ratio of its maximum and minimum speeds in this orbit will be 1.033

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of angular momentum.

mv1r1 = mv1r2

The ratio between speed.

V(max) / V(min) = 1+e / 1−e

                         = 1 + 0.0167 / 1 − 0.0167

                         = 1.0167 / 0.9833

                         = 1.033

Thus The ratio of its maximum and minimum speeds in this orbit will be 1.033
