The asteroid Icarus, discovered in 1949, was so named because its highly eccentric elliptical orbit brings it close to the Sun at perihelion. The eccentricity e of an ellipse is defined by the relation rp = a(1 − e), where rp is the perihelion distance and a is the semimajor axis. Icarus has an eccentricity of 0.83 and a period of 1.1 y.

Determine the semimajor axis of the orbit of Icarus.

An electron and a proton have the same kinetic energy upon entering a region of constant magnetic field and their velocity vectors are perpendicular to the magnetic field. suppose the magnetic field is strong enough to allow the particles to circle in the field. note: you'll need to look up the masses for an electron and proton. 1) what is the ratio of the radii of their circular paths rp/re?
