The path that a satellite travels around Earth is an ellipse with Earth at one focus. The length of the major axis is about 16,000 km, and the length of the minor axis is about 12,000 km. Write an equation for the satellite's orbit.

The answer to your question is            

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Ellipse

mayor axis = 16,000 km

minor axis = 12,000 km

Process

1) Calculate a and b

Mayor axis = 2a

       16,000 = 2a

       a = 16,000/2

       a = 8000

Minor axis = 2b

       12,000 = 2b

        b = 12,000/2

        b = 6000

the central idea is that:

individuals should refuse to cooperate with institutions they believe unjust.

thoreau felt  that governments were more often agents of corruption than justice, even democracies, and that just because the majority feels a certain way does not make it just or correct in absolute terms. he uses the fact that slavery exists in our democracy to support this idea.

he goes on to say that, as a result, people should live true to their own internal laws regarding right and wrong, as a product of reflection and a moral life, rather than following every law that society imposes.
