Out of aphelion and perihelion, where is the speed of the earth more and why ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine where the speed of the Earth is greater, we need to analyze the positions of the Earth in its elliptical orbit around the Sun, specifically at aphelion and perihelion. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Terms**: - **Aphelion**: This is the point in Earth's orbit where it is farthest from the Sun. - **Perihelion**: This is the point in Earth's orbit where it is closest to the Sun. ...

The Earth has a circular orbit of radius r and period t around the sum, Mars has a circular orbit of radius R and period T. In order to send a spacecraft from the Earth to Mars, it is convenient to launch the spacecraft inot an elliptical orbit whose perihelion coincides with the orbit of the Earth and whose aphelion coincides with the orbit of Mars, this orbit requires the least amount of energy for a trip to Mars. The time t' taken by a spacecraft to reach Mars from the Earth satisfies:
