We will measure all angles from West, the negative x-axis and divide the journey into 3 parts:
P1 = 370y
P2 = 410cos(45)x + 410sin(45)y = 290x + 290y
P3 = 370cos(270 - 28)x + 370sin(270 - 28) = -174x - 327y

Overall displacement:
x = 290 - 174 = 116 m
y = 370 + 290 - 327 = 333 m

displacement = √(116² + 333²)
= 353 m

Direction:
tan(∅) = y/x
∅ = tan⁻¹ (333 / 116)
∅ = 70.8° from West.

calculate earths velocity of approach toward the sun when earth in its orbit is at an extremum of the latus rectum through the s

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Hello your question is incomplete below is the complete question

Calculate Earths velocity of approach toward the sun when earth in its orbit is at an extremum of the latus rectum through the sun, Take the eccentricity of Earth's orbit to be 1/60 and its Semimajor axis to be 93,000,000

answer : V = 1.624* 10^-5 m/s

Explanation:

First we have to calculate the value of a

a = 93 * 10^6 mile/m * 1609.344 m

= 149.668 * 10^8 m

next we will express the distance between the earth and the sun

$r = \frac{a(1-E^2)}{1+Ecos\beta }$ --------- (1)
