A quaternion solution of the motion in a central force field relative to a rotating reference frame article pdf available in world journal of mechanics 55. Central force is mainly experienced by the objects that are in a uniform circular motion as the force holds the object at a fixed point. This type of motion is particularly relevant when studying the orbital movement of planets and satellites. Thus keplers second law of planetary motion is far more general than kepler ever knew. But angular momentum is conserved for a free particle. Then, the solution was generalized to the problem of the relative motion in a central force field 19 2021. Keplers laws when the only force acting on a particle is always directed to wards a. An inedite solution to the kepler problem by using the algebra of hypercomplex. Since there are no dissipative mechanisms and the only force acting on m can be derived from a gravitational.
