X Coordinate of Parabolic Trajectory given Parameter of Orbit Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

X Coordinate Value = Parameter of Parabolic Orbit*(cos(True Anomaly in Parabolic Orbit)/(1+cos(True Anomaly in Parabolic Orbit)))
x = p_p*(cos(θ_p)/(1+cos(θ_p)))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

cos - Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle., cos(Angle)

Variables Used

X Coordinate Value - (Measured in Meter) - X Coordinate Value is the distance of the object in horizontal direction from the origin.
Parameter of Parabolic Orbit - (Measured in Meter) - Parameter of Parabolic Orbit is defined as the half of chord length through the center of attraction perpendicular to the apse line.
True Anomaly in Parabolic Orbit - (Measured in Radian) - True Anomaly in Parabolic Orbit measures the angle between the object's current position and the perigee (the point of closest approach to the central body) when viewed from the focus of the orbit.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Parameter of Parabolic Orbit: 10800 Kilometer --> 10800000 Meter (Check conversion here)
True Anomaly in Parabolic Orbit: 115 Degree --> 2.0071286397931 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

x = p_p*(cos(θ_p)/(1+cos(θ_p))) --> 10800000*(cos(2.0071286397931)/(1+cos(2.0071286397931)))

Evaluating ... ...

x = -7905129.17944648

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

-7905129.17944648 Meter -->-7905.12917944649 Kilometer (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

-7905.12917944649 ≈ -7905.129179 Kilometer <-- X Coordinate Value

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
