After opening with a review of Kepler's three laws of planetary motion, it proceeds to analyze the general dynamics of 'central force' orbits in spherical coordinates, how elliptical orbits satisfy Newton's gravitational law, and how the geometry of ellipses relates to physical quantities, such as energy and momentum. Exercises are provided, and derivations are set up in such a way that readers can gain analytic practice by filling in the missing steps. A brief bibliography lists sources for readers who wish to pursue further study on their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruce Cameron Reed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1643274678\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781643274676\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Iop Concise Physics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/10\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 71\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.15d","brand":"Bruce Cameron Reed","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44068082843903,"sku":"9781643274676","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7a56f42e-e330-4a2f-97e7-e71341d66162.jpg?v=1685416928","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/keplerian-ellipses-bruce-cameron-reed-9781643274676","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
