At Trip to the Moon, Part 4: Kepler's 2nd Law

In this part of a series on calculus with parametric and polar equations, we investigate Kepler's 2nd Law of Planetary Motion as an application of the integration of a polar curve. We use GeoGebra, Desmos, and Kerbal Space Program to illustrate the calculus and physics concepts.

Correction: At 30:46 I say I'm in a parabolic orbit as I enter the Mun's SOI, we can see in the Kerbal Engineer display that it's actually hyperbolic since the eccentricity is about 1.26.
