Is this the one where you predict where they'll be in half an earth year?clever angel said:its the question about the effect of the earths rotational motion 2004 hsc
and we have to draw the positions of the three plantes mars, earth and dat's wat i don;t get
the answer is available in the 2004 success guide but i don;t undertstand it
do you think a spiral at the end (around mars once) would matter?helper said:How it was marked:
The time was approximately six months later, so a template was used that centred on the correct position opposite Earth, and gave about a cm leeway.
As the North pole is shown, you were required to have the planets orbiting anti-clockwise.
Based on the knowledge, that Mars has a larger orbit than Earth, then the Period had to be greater than Earth, So angular wise, it must travel less than Earth. A range of about 2 cm was allowed for the position of Mars from just above the 3 o'clock position of the diagram. OR if you use Kepler's third law based on the measured radiuses and calculated the period, then the position, then it was accepeted.
The trajectory, had to start from the original position of the Earth, that is already drawn, and finish at the position where Mars was drawn by you. It has to take the shortest route, to allow for use to use gravity, so it went anti-clockwise. The shape of the trajectory has to be an ellipse, as has no power, so the acceleration is based on gravity. This means the orbit cannot go closer to the sun than Earth's orbit or further out than MAr's orbit.
lol i have the 2004 onecare to post to question up i only have the 2002 edition of physics HSC success...
Yeh, the second part is a whole different topic thoughspank_meh said:well the whole question is worth 6 marks :I ...
