Energy
Under standard assumptions, specific orbital energy of a hyperbolic trajectory is greater than zero and the orbital energy conservation equation for this kind of trajectory takes form:
where:
- is orbital velocity of orbiting body,
- is radial distance of orbiting body from central body,
- is the negative semi-major axis,
- is standard gravitational parameter.

“Parents find many different ways to work their way through the assertiveness of their two-year-olds, but seeing that assertiveness as positive energy being directed toward growth as a competent individual may open up some new possibilities.”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)
“The very presence of guilt, let alone its tenacity, implies imbalance: Something, we suspect, is getting more of our energy than warrants, at the expense of something else, we suspect, that deserves more of our energy than we’re giving.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
“For infants and toddlers learning and living are the same thing. If they feel secure, treasured, loved, their own energy and curiosity will bring them new understanding and new skills.”
