Revisitando a Lei das Áreas

Abstract

With this work, the authors intend to contribute to the development of Physics learning in High School, proposing to revisit the Law of Areas, also called Kepler's Second Law, expanding its field of validity. Contrary to what it may seem, even a Uniform Rectilinear Motion obeys the Law of Areas and not just planets and satellites immersed in a gravitational field. Although it is not an unknown fact, these cases often go unnoticed by high school teachers.

Keywords: Kepler, angular momentum conservation, Area´s Law.
