Given points ,
,
,
find the direction vector of the line passing through the point
and the midpoint of
the segment (i.e. the
median of the triangle
through the vertex ).
The motion with a constant acceleration is described by the relation
.
Consequently, the graph which shows the distance as a function of
time is part of a parabola. Find the directrix of this parabola, if
.
A body is thrown at the initial angle
and the initial velocity .
The trajectory of the body is a parabola. Find the equation of this parabola. Hint: The coordinates of the moving body as functions of time are
Consider the standard acceleration due to gravity
.
Consider a planet traveling around the Sun on an elliptic trajectory. In the perihelion (the
point where the planet is nearest to the Sun) is the distance from the planet to the Sun
. The excentricity
of the ellipse is .
Find the equation for the trajectory of the planet. Use the coordinate system with center in the
Sun and -axis
along the major axis of the ellipse.
