3. In the section of Free Fall and the Coriolis Force, we used a method of successive approximations to find the orbit of an object that is dropped from rest (see also problem 2 in this hw). Show in the same way that, if an object is thrown with initial velocity vo from a point O on the surface of the earth to first order in Q what the orbit is. i.e., find x, y, and z. Assume that vo is small enough that air resistance is negligible and that g is constant throughout the flight.
