2 days ago · The elongation of an ellipse is measured by its eccentricity , a number ranging from (the limiting case of a circle) to (the limiting case of infinite elongation, no longer an ellipse but a parabola).
3 days ago · The eccentricity of an ellipse is the ratio of the distance from the center to the foci and the distance from the center of the vertices. The equation of eccentricity is given by, \[{{e}^{2}}=1-\dfrac{{{b}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}\]

3 days ago · Elliptic integral. In integral calculus, an elliptic integral is one of a number of related functions defined as the value of certain integrals, which were first studied by Giulio Fagnano and Leonhard Euler (c. 1750). Their name originates from their originally arising in connection with the problem of finding the arc length of an ellipse.
5 days ago · Pluto's orbit is more elongated, or eccentric, than any of the planetary orbits and more inclined (at 17.1°) to the ecliptic. In traveling its eccentric path around the Sun, Pluto varies in distance from 29.7 astronomical units, at its closest point to the Sun (perihelion), to 49.5 AU, at its farthest point (aphelion).
2 days ago · Modern definitions express trigonometric functions as infinite series or as solutions of differential equations. This allows extending the domain of sine and cosine functions to the whole complex plane, and the domain of the other trigonometric functions to the complex plane with some isolated points removed.
4 days ago · Define the types of muscular contraction (concentric, eccentric, and static), and name and demonstrate each type of action. 6. Demonstrate an understanding of the influence of gravity and other external forces on muscular action by correctly analyzing several movement patterns in which these forces influence the muscular action.
1 day ago · where the true anomaly η, which is the angle between periastron and the planet, measured from the barycenter of the system (e.g. Eastman et al. 2013), is related to the solution of the Kepler’s equation, and depends on the orbital period of the planet P orb, the orbital phase ϕ, and the eccentricity of the orbit e.
