4 A moon orbits a planet, that orbits a star, that orbits a black hole [20%]
The black hole is at the origin of coordinates. At l=0 the star is at the point (1,0), the planet at the point ), and the moon at the point (1.15,0). The period of the star is T=2; this means that the star completes one orbit after one pertiod, i.e., at t=2=T. The planet completes an orbit around the star when t=210, and the moon completes an orbit around the planet at l=220.
(by hand) Build parametric curves that describe the motion of the star, planet and moon. Use a computer or calculator to graph the parametric curves from t=0 to L=2.
Compute and compare the arelengths of the three parametric curves from t=0 to =2. The arclength formula is
L=t0t4x'(t)2+y'()22dt
(by hand) How would you calculate the average spocds of star, planet and moon? Write down a mathematical expression for the average speod and justify it. Evaluate your formula for star, planet and moon and rank them? Who is the fastest? Explain.
