force....? Described by the potential energy function V=k/2r2. for a repulsive case(k>0) show that the orbit equation is rcosn(theta - x) where n, b and x are constants. show that for the attractive case (k<0) the nature of the orbit depends on the signs of J^2+mk. find the equation of the orbit for each possible type.
