What is Reducing the Two-Body Problem to One about?

This document summarizes the reduction of a two-body central force problem to a one-dimensional problem. It explains that by using conservation of momentum and angular momentum, the problem can be reduced to a single particle moving under an effective potential that includes a centrifugal barrier term. This allows the problem to be solved by inverting and integrating an expression that relates the time of motion to the radial coordinate. The path of motion can also be found by relating the change in the ang
