Newtonian Scattering Model
|
Study Newton's Second Law with the help of this simulation. Newtonian Scattering model displays the gravitational scattering of a multiple masses incident on a target mass. The simulation displays the motion of the smaller. The number of particles and their initial spread, the gravitational constant, and the target mass's radius can be changed via textboxes. You can modify this simulation if you have Ejs installed by right-clicking within the plot and selecting "Open Ejs Model" from the pop-up menu item.
The potential is Newtonian, V(r) = -k/r, and depending on the sign of k, it can be attractive, repulsive or null.
The unit mass is chosen equal to the mass of each particle.
Below you can also choose from which abscissa (x) and with which velocity (v,0,0) are sent the particles, as well as the target radius R.
