Sorry, I was automatically thinking in the orbital plane. I've edited the post to clear it up. Nevertheless, both the line and the plane intersect the ellipse in two same points and these are the answer. If you want a projection to any direction outside the orbital plane, the answer is still the...
Hi, I hope I chose the right forum for this topic. I'd like to show you an interesting property of orbiting bodies. I don't want you to solve it for me, I just thought the result is so beautiful that there must be simpler answer than just mathematically calculate it (I haven't managed to Google...
Oh thank you very much, I'm looking forward to relativity classes I will have in 2 years. I know
just the basics of special relativity from secondary school and I'm not familiar with the necessary calculus to do it properly. But it's nice to know where the catch is, thanks!
Hello! I thought of this problem when I was learning Electromagnetism and read about the scenario of the two wires (the Amper definition). I just want to make sure I got it right. So the magnetic force is just a decrease in the electrostatic force caused by relativistic transformation, but we...
