1i got the the answer of the first part!!..
but i m not getting... dis rsinθ one... can u plz explain
The equation of an elliptical orbit of a satellite of mass 2000 kg revolving around the earth is r=(8 X 106)/(1+0.5 cos θ). Mass of the earth = 5.97X1024kg. Find.
1. Eccentricity of orbit of satellite
2. Angular momentum of satellite

Not very easy ...
I will solve the first part then see if u can take it from there...
Take θ=0 and pi for finding 2a!
rsinθ will give the height..
For maximum height find θ That will give u b
thus u can find the ellipse
