From Kepler's laws to Newton's law: a didactical proof

preprint2020arXivOpen access

Abstract

An elementary derivation of the Newton "inverse square law" from the three Kepler laws is proposed. Our proof, thought essentially for first-year undergraduates, basically rests on Euclidean geometry. It could then be offered even to high-school students possessing only the first basics of Calculus.
