In polar coordinates, one of these statements says that r equals p over quantity one plus epsilon cosine theta, where p is the semilatus rectum and epsilon is the eccentricity.
In polar coordinates, one of these statements says that r equals p over quantity one plus epsilon cosine theta, where p is the semilatus rectum and epsilon is the eccentricity. Another states that the time derivative of the areal (AIR-ee-uhl) velocity is zero, or that equal areas are swept out in equal times. The third says that the square of the period is directly proportional to the cube of the semimajor axis. For 10 points, name these laws of planetary motion named after a German astronomer and student of Tycho Brahe.
