Chapter 466: Chapter 214 Casual Guidance_3

Upon hearing Qiao Ze's words, Peter Schultz couldn't help but stand up and step closer to Qiao Ze's side to look at the calculations he was working on his draft paper.

"Is this an elliptical model?"

"Yes, we first assume a three-body problem and represent the position of each object in the three-body system as a solution of elliptical functions."

Upon finishing, Qiao Ze wrote down three more formulas on the manuscript.

[ x_i(t) = a_i \cos(\omega_i t +\phi_i),]

[ y_i(t) = b_i \sin(\omega_i t +\phi_i),]

[ z_i(t) = c_i \cos(\omega_i t +\phi_i),]

He then began to explain, "(a_i, b_i, c_i) are the semi-major axis, semi-minor axis, and semi-intermediate axis of the ellipse, respectively, (\omega_i) is the angular frequency of the ellipse, and (\phi_i) is the initial phase."

Roth Dugan's face first showed a look of realization and then frowned as he asked, "But how does this affect the calculation of the interaction forces?"
