The areal velocity of a particle is the rate at which area is swept out as the particle travels along a curve. The area is swept out by a vector (starting at the origin.)

In words:

Imagine an empty space with a single point in it. That point doesn't move; it represents the the origin. Now image a particle flying around in that space. An arrow always points from the origin to that particle (and touches the particle). As the particle moves, that arrow moves, possibly getting longer or shorter depending on where the particle is. Instead of just moving though, it creates a "path" of area. Everywhere that arrow touches in the space, it "paints" that space, so as it moves, more and more space gets "painted". This "painted space" is the area. The rate at which the amount of this "painted space" changes is the areal velocity of that particle.

As equations:

dA/dt=r x v/2

dA/dt=L/(2m)

Notice that the areal velocity is a vector.

Why areal velocity is constant in central force?

If the force is constant then this will make the velocity of the object spinning constant as well, and for the velocity to be constant all the forces must be balanced and therefore constant

What is meant by the word areal?

Word areal is also called bit density. Word areal is the amount of data that can be packed onto a storage medium. Those densities are measured in gigabits per square inch. The term is useful for comparing different types of media, such as magnetic disks and optical disks. Current magnetic and optical disks have areal densities of several gigabits per square inch.
