Suppose you would like to estimate the elliptical orbit of a certain object around the origin. observations are made of both an angle and a distance. you collect five observations as follows where the first value is degrees (counterclockwise from the positive x-axis) and the second is in millions of miles: (23◦ , ◦ , ◦ , ◦ , ◦ , 137) the equation of an ellipse in polar coordinates can be given by the following for some a and b where θ is the angle (counterclockwise from the positive x-axis) and r is distance from the origin: ar2 cos2 θ + br2 sin2 θ = 1 (a) find the least-squares best-fit ellipse. (b) use this to predict the distance of the object when θ = 225◦ . (c) what is the furthest that the object ever gets from the origin? hint: use sin2 θ + cos2 θ = 1

Cyclotrons are widely used in nuclear medicine for producing short-lived radioactive isotopes. these cyclotrons typically accelerate h- (the hydride ion, which has one proton and two electrons) to an energy of 5 mev to 20 mev. this ion has a mass very close to that of a proton because the electron mass is negligible—about 1 2000 of the proton’s mass. a typical magnetic field in such cyclotrons is 1.9 t. (a) what is the speed of a 5.0-mev h-? (b) if the h- has energy 5.0 mev and b = 1.9 t, what is the radius of this ion’s circular orbit?
