DERIVING KEPLER’SLAWS OF PLANETARYMOTIONBy: Emily Davis

WHO IS JOHANNES KEPLER? German mathematician, physicist,and astronomer Worked under Tycho Brahe Observation alone Founder of celestial mechanics

WHAT ABOUT ISAAC NEWTON? “If I have seen further it is bystanding on the shoulders ofGiants.”Laws of Motion Universal Gravitation Explained Kepler’s laws The laws could be explainedmathematically if his laws ofmotion and universal gravitationwere true.Developed calculus

KEPLER’S LAWS OF PLANETARYMOTION1.Planets move around the Sun in ellipses,with the Sun at one focus.2.The line connecting the Sun to a planetsweeps equal areas in equal times.3.The square of the orbital period of aplanet is proportional to the cube of thesemimajor axis of the ellipse.

INITIAL VALUES AND EQUATIONSUnit vectors of polar coordinates(1)

INITIAL VALUES AND EQUATIONSFrom (1),(2)Differentiate with respect to time t(3)

INITIAL VALUES AND EQUATIONSCONTINUED Vectors follow the right-hand rule(8)

INITIAL VALUES AND EQUATIONSCONTINUED Force between the sun and a planet(9)Newton’s 2nd law of motion: F ma(10)F-forceG-universal gravitationalconstantM-mass of sunm-mass of planetr-radius from sun to planet

INITIAL VALUES AND EQUATIONSCONTINUED Planets accelerate toward the sun, and a is a scalar multiple of r.(11)

INITIAL VALUES AND EQUATIONSCONTINUED Derivative of(12)(11) and (12) together(13)

INITIAL VALUES AND EQUATIONSCONTINUED Integrates to a constant(14)

INITIAL VALUES AND EQUATIONSCONTINUED When t 0,1.2.3.4.5.

KEPLER’S LAWS OF PLANETARYMOTION1.Planets move around the Sun in ellipses,with the Sun at one focus.2.The line connecting the Sun to a planetsweeps equal areas in equal times.3.The square of the orbital period of aplanet is proportional to the cube of thesemimajor axis of the ellipse.

KEPLER’S LAWS OF PLANETARYMOTION1.Planets move around the Sun in ellipses,with the Sun at one focus.2.The line connecting the Sun to a planetsweeps equal areas in equal times.3.The square of the orbital period of aplanet is proportional to the cube of thesemimajor axis of the ellipse.

WHAT DOES LAW 2 MEAN?The line connecting the Sun to a planetsweeps equal areas in equal times.

PROOF OF LAW 2 CONTINUED Insert (4) into (14)(17)(17) is simplified when t 0(18)

PROOF OF LAW 2 CONTINUED C is always constant so (17) (18)(19)Differential area equation for polar coordinatesDifferential area equation is half of the constant function.(20)

PROOF OF LAW 2 CONTINUED LAW 2 isPROVED!!!!

WHAT DOES LAW 3 MEAN?The square of the orbital period of a planet isproportional to the cube of the semimajor axis ofthe ellipse.

PROOF OF LAW 3There is a concept from the proof of Law 1 that isneeded EccentricityTwo formulas (31) and (32)(32)(31)

PROOF OF LAW 3 CONTINUED Kepler’s law says(33)Formula 1 for areaFormula 2 uses (20)

PROOF OF LAW 3 CONTINUED Combining Formula 1 and 2 and solving for T(34)rmax is equal to (31) when θ π

PROOF OF LAW 3 CONTINUED a is found using the maximum position vector(35)

PROOF OF LAW 3 CONTINUED a can be found from (35)

PROOF OF LAW 3 CONTINUED Square both sides of (34) and use (32) and (35)

PROOF OF LAW 3 CONTINUED Solve T2

PROOF OF LAW 3 CONTINUED LAW 3 isPROVED!!!!

Kepler also runs on Mac computers with Windows operating system installed. Kepler can be used by people with any level of experience, from novice to professional. Novices can stick to the basics, and experts can use the advanced features. Wonderfully easy to use. Kepler is amazingly comprehensive, with seemingly endless features beautifully .
