Exemplo de Physics, 7.1 Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion
Problema e solução em inglês, como no livro original.
At its closest approach, a moon comes within 200,000 km of the planet it orbits. At that point, the moon is 300,000 km from the other focus of its orbit, f2. The planet is focus f1 of the moon’s elliptical orbit. How far is the moon from the planet when it is 260,000 km from f2?
