Recall the equation of motion in plane polar coordinates of a particle of mass m acted

upon by a central force Fr(r) is


r ̈ − (L^2/m^2 r^3) = (1/m) F r ( r ) ,

where L = mr2θ ̇ is the angular momentum. Let u(θ) = 1/r(θ). Show that the orbit equation with respect to u(θ) is,

d^2u(θ)/dθ^2+ u(θ) = −mFr(1/u)/L^2u^2
