You just manipulate the differentials.
[itex]\frac{d \dot{r}}{dt}=\frac{d \dot{r}}{dt} \frac{dr}{dr}=\frac{d \dot{r}}{dr} \frac{dr}{dt}=\dot{r} \frac{d \dot{r}}{dt}[/itex]

edit. corrected last part

It is quick difficult to think of this step.
If I don't check the solution, I wouldn't write out this.

It appears that I messed up the last equality. I corrected the last post.
It is clearer if you see that it is the chain rule.
let [itex]\dot{r}=\dot{r}(r(t))[/itex] then [itex]\frac{d \dot{r} }{dt}=\frac{d \dot{r} }{dr} \frac{d{r} }{dt}[/itex]

I am intrigued by the title of this tutorial and its focus on unlocking the mystery of green-colored steps. Based on the information provided, it seems that this tutorial may be discussing a specific technique or method for solving problems or completing homework assignments. However, without further context or information, it is difficult for me to provide a specific response or answer to the questions posed in this content.

As for the green-colored step, it is possible that this is a visual aid or indicator used in the tutorial to highlight a particularly important or crucial step in the problem-solving process. The use of color as a visual cue is a common technique in teaching and learning, and it can help students to better understand and remember important concepts.

Regarding the technique's name, I cannot say for sure without more information about the tutorial. It is possible that the tutorial itself may have a specific name, or the green-colored step may be part of a larger problem-solving method that has a name. More examples of this technique would also be helpful in understanding its purpose and application. Overall, I am interested in learning more about this tutorial and its approach to problem-solving.
