Is an ellipse is similar to a circle?

How is a circle similar to an ellipse?The eccentricity of a circle is zero.The eccentricity of an ellipse which is not a circle is greater than 0, but less than 1.The eccentricity of a parabola is 1The eccentricity of a hyperbola is greater than 1Definition of eccentrica person with an unusual or odd personalitybizarre: conspicuously or grossly unconventional or unusual;.A circle is the perfect shape, all point are equidistant from the center. I believe we could agree that the circle has no eccentricity!!The eccentricity of a circle is zero..On the other hand the ellipse has points that 2 centers, a little eccentric. The farther the 2 points are apart the more eccentric the ellipse is.If you take any point on the ellipse, the sum of the distances to the focus points is constant. The eccentricity of an ellipse which is not a circle is greater than 0, but less than 1.If you stretch the ellipse too far it will break open and be a parabola. The eccentricity of a Parabolais 1. The parabola just keeps spreading out in both directions. At least it is still symmetrical. It has bottom (vertex),but the top just keeps spreading out.The eccentricity of a parabola is 1The eccentricity of a hyperbola is greater than 1The points on a hyperbola get close to the x-axis and y-axis, but never touch either axis.The eccentricity of a circle is zero. Think about the equation of each of these shapes Circle x^2 + y^2 = r ^2 How beautiful y^2 = r ^2 - x^2The eccentricity of an ellipse which is not a circle is greater than 0, but less than 1.Ellipse Equation(x^2 ÷ a^2) + (y^2 ÷ b^2) = 1Getting more eccentric with those a^2's an b^2'sParabola EquationY = k * x^2Now poor y is not squared The eccentricity of a parabola is 1Hyperbola Equationx * y = constanty = constant ÷ xNow poor x is in the denominator The eccentricity of a hyperbola is greater than 1

How does the shape change with increasing eccentricity?

An ellipse whose eccentricity is zero is a circle. As its eccentricity increases, it becomes more and more elliptical, i.e. its foci move farther apart and it appears more "egg-shaped".

Does gas have shape and will volume affect it?

Gas tends to take the shape of the volume it's in. If the volume is reduced, then the pressure of the gas will increase.


What is the definition of the word hyperbolic?

"Exaggerated" or related to the shape of a "hyperbola" (which looks kind of like a U) in math.
