Abstract

 Based on Kepler's three laws, and the conservation laws of mechanic energy and angular moment about a mass point moving on an elliptic trajectory under an inverse-squared centric force, the mean values within a period of some typical physical quantity (polar radiurs,speed, angular speed, angular momentum, rotation inertia, kinetical energy,potential energy,and so on) ,are calculated and several interesting and useful mean-value relations are found and proved. A unique mean-value point on the path of the mass point is emphasized. The Virial theorem is direct proved by means of these calculated mean values. The physical meanings, and teaching reference significance of these findings are also emphasized.
