A family of conic sections of varying eccentricity share a focus point and directrix line, including an ellipse (red, e = 1/2), a parabola (green, e = 1), and a hyperbola (blue, e = 2). The conic of eccentricity 0 in this figure is an infinitesimal circle centered at the focus, and the conic of eccentricity ∞ is an infinitesimally separated ...
With eccentricity just over 1 the hyperbola is a sharp "v" shape. At e = 2 {\displaystyle e={\sqrt {2}}} the asymptotes are at right angles. With e > 2 {\displaystyle e>2} the asymptotes are more than 120° apart, and the periapsis distance is greater than the semi major axis.
Conic sections of varying eccentricity sharing a focus point and directrix line, including an ellipse (red, e = 1/2), a parabola (green, e = 1), and a hyperbola (blue, e = 2). The conic of eccentricity 0 in this figure is an infinitesimal circle centered at the focus, and the conic of eccentricity ∞ is an infinitesimally separated pair of lines.
Since the eccentricity of a hyperbola is always greater than one, the center B must lie outside of the reciprocating circle C. This definition implies that the hyperbola is both the locus of the poles of the tangent lines to the circle B, as well as the envelope of the polar lines of the points on B.
A pencil of confocal ellipses and hyperbolas is specified by choice of linear eccentricity c (the x-coordinate of one focus) and can be parametrized by the semi-major axis a (the x-coordinate of the intersection of a specific conic in the pencil and the x-axis). When 0 < a < c the conic is a hyperbola; when c < a the conic is an ellipse.
eccentricity = 0.566613; true anomaly at time t 1 = −7.577° true anomaly at time t 2 = 92.423° This y-value corresponds to Figure 3. With r 1 = 10000 km; r 2 = 16000 km; α = 260° one gets the same ellipse with the opposite direction of motion, i.e. true anomaly at time t 1 = 7.577° true anomaly at time t 2 = 267.577° = 360° − 92.423°
A Minnesota couple has reportedly been sentenced to four years after they locked their children in cages for "their safety." Benjamin and Christina Cotton from Red Wing, were sentenced by a ...
