    Interception again

    Ok I just want to intercept an object moving in an elliptical path with an object with acceleration a at a time t.
    I need to get a(e,o,t) where E is the object's elliptical path and it's position in it at t=0 and o is the interceptor object's kinetical status (displacement and velocity) at t=0

    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13

    Well...

    well the equation for an ellipse is:

    x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 = 1

    where a and b are the x and y axis intercepts.
    There are 10 types of people in the world - those that understand binary, and those that don't.

    Oh and i definitely forgot one thing, the object that is moving in the elliptical path is a satellite, so Keplers laws are applied,A^2=R^3 or something i'm not quite sure.
