| Some body, being at a distance of 0.7184 AU from the Sun, has at this moment a speed relative to the Sun of 33.2 km / sec. Determine the type of conical section described by the body. Do you know what this body is?
The parabolic speed at a given distance is 49.7 km / s. Obviously, the orbit is an ellipse, and the problem is about Venus.
