Capiert Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) Perigee (e.g. perihelion, is the nearest distance to the sun, &) has the slowest orbit_speed, but fastest angle_speed (angular_velocity); & Apogee (e.g. Aphelion is the farthest distance (away) from the sun) has the fastest orbit_speed, & slowest angle_speed (angular_velocity). I distinguish between orbit_speed (vc=Cir/T=2*Pi*r/T); versus the angular_speed (theta/T); (Disclaimer: otherwise Kepler's 3rd law is NONSENSE (for me), who(m) I pity). Tycho (Brahe) (only) measured planets'(_position): angles & time (dates); so we can calculate the(ir orbits) angular_speeds, e.g. how fast arcs (=angles). are swept. To summarize (my interpretation): 1. Kepler found that (planets') obits were NOT perfect circles (& (he simply) approximated that (orbit) to an ellipse (math)). 2. Instead, an egg (shaped orbit) has only 1 focus (center), found near the smaller end. (The conic_section was done (algebraically) from a cone (with its circular base sitting on the ground (y=0), & its apex (x,y=0,H=0,1) up at the top) having the same radius R=H=1 equal to its height H (which seems to be the key to the results); & then normalizing by dividing by the egg's total (diagonal_)length L which starts at the cone's base_circumference (left_side, x,y=-1,0) going (diagonally up, to the right) thru the center axis (focus x,y=0,h) where the (partial) height (fraction) h is the eccentricity (Epsilon); (& continues till it pierces (out, thru) the cone's right side). Your mathematicians should be capable of similar results. If you DON'T believe me you can form bread dough & cut it, appropriately.) Equal arcs (=angles) are swept [out] in equal times. 3. A circular orbit uses (=has) the pendulum_period T=2*Pi*((r/g)^0.5), g=ac which is similar to Newton's centifugal_acceleration ac=vc2/r if ac=g. Why should an orbit_speed vc increase with smaller radius? E.g. For very small eccentricities? (It does NOT, because..) There is NO consistency, when extrapolating to large(r) eccentricities. Nature does NOT abruptly change her laws; (but) men do. Especially when they did NOT understand. Edited January 17, 2023 by Capiert A few details, update.

I'm saying Kepler's 3rd law is wrong for an Orbit_speed; & (=but instead) it should (=might) apply to an angular_speed. Btw. Is there any (Foto) evidence that orbits are (suppose to be) elliptical?

swansont Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 For a circle, v=wr (w is angular speed), and this will be a good approximation for a low-eccentricity ellipse. There is no way to have v be a minimum but w be a maximum for an orbit. If you think Kepler’s laws are wrong, you must provide the evidence. Nobody has to justify it. Quote Why should an orbit_speed vc increase with smaller radius? Conservation of energy tells you it must be so. As r decreases, the PE becomes more negative. KE must increase. The sum must remain constant, since no work is being done on the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
