Keplers second law states: The radius vector from the sun to a planet sweeps out equal areas
Question:
Kepler’s second law states: The radius vector from the sun to a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal times. Show that this law follows directly from the law of conservation of angular momentum and the fact that the force of gravitational attraction between a planet and the sun acts along the line joining the two celestial objects.

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
