I have the same question on my assignment. I don't get any hyperbolic functions because the object is moving upwards. It would become hyperbolic if it was moving downwards. The integral of 1/(1+x^2) is arctan. So instead of having tanh it would be changed to arctan.

nevermind I figured it out

Alright, so I have a few questions. a) Consider a moon of mass m orbiting a planet of mass M in an elliptical orbit. The equation for the radius of an elliptical orbit is r=a(1-e2) / (1+ecos\vartheta). Derive equations for the orbital radius of the moon when it closest to and farthest from the...
