Calculating Pluto's velocity (angular momentum)
Hello gneiLL, yes it does stand for Jessica, and thank you. I'm sorry for the wonky format, I will try to adhere more exactly to the template in the future. Thank you very much for your explanation, it makes sense and is a lot simpler than I was trying to make it. It seems I need to go back...- J3551C4

Calculating Pluto's velocity (angular momentum)
1. Pluto moves in a fairly elliptical orbit around the sun. Pluto's speed at its closest approach of 4.43×109km is 6.12 km/s.Homework Equations : L=mvr, F_g: (GMm/r^2), A_c: mv^2/r[/B]The Attempt at a Solution : I found the answer here, but I'm more interested in why we would use angular...- J3551C4
