MAE 4410: Fundamentals of AstrodynamicsQuiz #4Due: February 11 th , 20091. List the four conic sections and their ranges/values of eccentricities.2. List the four conic sections and their ranges/values of specific orbital mechanical energies (maybe tacked onto previous question table)3. List the four conic sections and their ranges/values of semi-major axes. (may be tacked ontoprevious question table)2μμv = − (4.1)r a4. The escape velocity in terms of a circular orbital velocity at the same r p is given by: (hint, the visvivaequation is shown above)A. v = 4vesccirB. v = 2vesccirC. vesc = vcir − μ rpD. vesc = π vcirE. v = 2vesccir

5. For which conic sections is the following two equations valid:vμε =− (5.1)2a2μμ= − (5.2)r a6. In an elliptical orbit, the line of _________________________ connects the point of closestapproach, generically known as _______________________, and the point of farthestexcursion, generically known as _________________________.
