That's a second order differential equation and they're super hard to solve

That fact that you said it was elliptical makes this kind of simple. You're basically asking us to find values of a & b subject to x^2/a^2+y^2/b^2=1 x(t)=x0 y(t)=y0 dx/dt=x1 dy/dt=y1. I'm not sure you even need to know the acceleration since you have 2 equations and two unknowns at this point.

I'm not sure you even need to know the acceleration since you have 2 equations and two unknowns at this point. An equation for an ellipse has 5 unknowns, also I don't know how you get the t into the x^2/a^2+y^2/b^2=1 equation. --- "joe is attractive and quite the brilliant poster" - Seiichi Omori https://imgur.com/TheGsZ9 ...

t is merely the independent variable since it sounds like a parametric equation. If I asked you to find the ellipse with center at the origin that contains the point (1,1) at time t with velocity -3 at that point, it shouldn't be hard to solve. The only question is if it's moving in a clockwise direction or not.

Seriously though, I have the radius to the earth and initial velocity, also I have initial conditions in some x,y plane and yet I still can't figure out the equation of the location after time t, and i spent hours.
It's dumb I'm spinning my wheels on this so much because it should be easy. The issue is that since I only have the radius of the earth I don't know where the center is or the other focal point. --- "joe is attractive and quite the brilliant poster" - Seiichi Omori https://imgur.com/TheGsZ9 ...

don't feel bad man I used to be pretty good with numbers I could multiply something like 973 x 468 in my head but I don't even know where to start with this lol. You're doing much better than I ever could.
I wonder if Mark Labbett could figure it out...? ... Copied to Clipboard!

There's a few forums you can find online that are something along the lines of "ask a physicist anything". Those used to be my favorite reads on the internet. ... Copied to Clipboard!

My roommates in undergrad were both aerospace engineering majors, and their description of their orbital mechanics classes made me glad that I will never have to go near the stuff.
