Newton’s Equal Areas is a 1967 educational science film produced by Alfred Bork, Bruce Cromwell, and Catherine Cromwell under the International Film Bureau, Inc. The film utilizes animation and elementary geometry to elucidate Newton's Laws of Motion, particularly focusing on the principle that a line joining a planet and the sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time—a concept integral to Kepler's Second Law and Newtonian mechanics. Designed as an instructional tool, the film aims to make complex physical laws accessible to students and educators.
