The equations of motion are:
[itex]\ddot{r}-r{\dot{\theta}} ^{2} = -\frac{1}{r^{2}}[/itex]
for the radial acceleration and
[itex]r\ddot{\theta} + 2\dot{r}\dot{\theta}= 0[/itex]
for the transverse acceleration
When I integrate these equations I get only circles. The energy of the system is constant and the...
