It is clear that particals in a repulsive central field given by a point mass at the origin are moving along hyperbolas, e.g. given by the expression ${x^2 \over a^2} - {y^2 \over b^2} = 1$ (after a change of coordinates). This also applies to three dimensions since the motion takes place in a plane due to conservation of angular momentum.
On the other hand, in three dimensions, the motion satisfies the initial value problem $$ \left\{\begin{array}{l} {d^2X \over dt^2} = C {X \over |X|^3}, \\ X(0) = x, \dot X(0) = v \end{array}\right. $$ for some given initial position and velocity $(x,v) \in \mathbb{R}^6$.
Unfortunately, while I can derive the trajectories, I have no idea, what can be said about the speed at which the particle moves at a certain time. In particular, I am interested in the quantitative behavior of $|V| = |\dot X|$ for given $x$ and $v$.
Are there any expansions or explicit expressions for the solution $X$ of the above initial value problem? Or is there any expansion or explicit expression for the absolute velocity $|V|$?
EDIT By conservation of energy we know that $$ \frac{1}{2}|V|^2 = \frac{1}{2}|v|^2 + C\left(\frac{1}{|x|} - \frac{1}{|X|}\right). $$ On the other hand, the behaviour of $\frac{1}{|X|}$ is well understood according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler_problem#Solution_of_the_Kepler_problem $$ \frac{1}{r} = -\frac{km}{L^{2}} \left[ 1 + e \cos \left( \theta - \theta_{0}\right) \right]. $$ Actually, I don't quite understand how $\theta$ can be replaced by a time dependent expression and how the constants depend on the initial data $x$ and $v$...
