Hi
Im busy creating an application to simulation a rocket in orbit. I am having trouble as the results I am getting are incorrect. Could someone please check if I am using the correct method as stated below.
Everything works on a 2d plane, and has a x and y coordinate and a x and y...
sjb27 and Bandersnatch.
I do really appreciate you guys taking the effort to help, alas I have run out of time and cannot afford to work on the problem any longer.
My thesis is not graded on the 'correctness' of the application rather the things you learned along the way kinda thing.
I want...
Hi Bandersnatch
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunatley i don't have time at the moment to give an in depth reply. The solution I am using seems be working but its almost undoubtly incorrect.
I will be in touch later tonight
ok so
the new values I am using
G = 6.67384 × 10^-11 m3 kg-1
m = 5.97219*10^24 kg
p = 363295000 m
a = 384399000 m
im getting a result of 1075.7984 m/s
wrong? correct?
Hi
Im trying to calculate the speed of the moon at perigee but i don't know where I am going wrong.
As i know the formula is v = sqrt[ GM( (2/p) - (1/a) ) ]
where
g = gravitation constant
m = mass of the earth
p = distance perigee from the earth
a = semi major axis
The values I am using are...
Hello
Firstly i just registered, I am a final year computer science student and I am busy working on my thesis (the deadline is fast approaching) I am working this application of a rocket going into orbit and physics is not my forte. I need some help on converting the gimbal of a rocket...
