New day... a clue....

Compute 2nd (time) derivative of area swept by orbiting planet.
Separate parts and note what part must equal zero, if swept area rate
is constant. (Now pick any hypothetical acceleration vector without
assuming any knowledge about direction and translate it from x,y
coordinates to instantaneous radial and transverse coordinate frame.
Separate terms. Compare.)
