DEpartment of physics

In the last class, we obtain the equation for orbotals in the central force motion. We will do few examples to find the force function, if the type of the orbital is given. The orbital means, how the radial coordiante change as a function of the polar angle. We also would like to find out how the radial coordinate and the polar angle change as a function of time This will then lead to find out the type of the orbit for a particle moving in a central force field. We will discuss the turning points
