Kepler's Laws 
Course Topic(s): One-Variable Calculus | General Collections of Applets | Multivariable Calculus | Vector-Valued Functions and Velocity/Acceleration
Set eccentricity and watch the planet move around. Illustrates Kepler's second law by clearly showing how velocity varies at different points of an elliptical orbit. Graphs kinetic, potential, and total energy. Also contains visualization of Kepler's third law using the orbits of Mercury, Venus, and Earth.
