Discuss the motion of a particle in a central inverse-square-law force field for a superimposed force whose magnitude is inversely proportional to the cube of the distance from the particle to the force center; that is, $$F(r)=-\frac{k}{r^{2}}-\frac{\lambda}{r^{3}} \quad k, \lambda > 0$$ Show that the motion is described by a precessing ellipse. Consider the cases \(\lambda < l^{2} / \mu, \lambda=l^{2} / \mu,\) and \(\lambda > l^{2} / \mu\)
An Earth satellite moves in an elliptical orbit with a period \(\tau,\) eccentricity \(\varepsilon,\) and semimajor axis \(a\). Show that the maximum radial velocity of the satellite is \(2 \pi a \varepsilon /(\tau \sqrt{1-\varepsilon^{2}})\)
Consider a comet moving in a parabolic orbit in the plane of Earth's orbit. If the distance of closest approach of the comet to the Sun is \(\beta r_{E},\) where \(r_{E}\) is the radius of Earth's (assumed) circular orbit and where \(\beta < 1\), show that the time the comet spends within the orbit of Earth is given by $$\sqrt{2(1-\beta)} \cdot(1+2 \beta) / 3 \pi \times 1 \text { year }$$ If the comet approaches the Sun to the distance of the perihelion of Mercury, how many days is it within Earth's orbit?
A particle moves in an elliptical orbit in an inverse-square-law central-force field. If the ratio of the maximum angular velocity to the minimum angular velocity of theparticle in its orbit is \(n\), then show that the eccentricity of the orbit is. $$\varepsilon=\frac{\sqrt{n}-1}{\sqrt{n}+1}$$
Show that the areal velocity is constant for a particle moving under the influence of an attractive force given by \(F(r)=-k r .\) Calculate the time averages of the kinetic and potential energies and compare with the results of the virial theorem.
