Scientific paper

Many misleading statements could be avoided if authors remembered the general properties of conic sections. One should distinguish between the elliptic appearance in a perspective view and the actual ellipticity of the Earth's orbit. Satellites spiraling downward in near-circular orbits gain kinetic energy when they lose potential energy. Since hyperbolas have two branches, alpha particle scattering does not give information about the sign of the nuclear charge. Space probes are often directed into the path of nearby planets in order to pick up some of the planets' kinetic energy.
