Synopsis

Mechanics

type TheTime = Double Source #

Time (in s).

type TimeStep = Double Source #

type Velocity = Vec Source #

Velocity of a particle (in m/s).

Simple one-particle state

type SimpleAccelerationFunction = SimpleState -> Vec Source #

An acceleration function gives the particle's acceleration as a function of the particle's state. The specification of this function is what makes one single-particle mechanics problem different from another. In order to write this function, add all of the forces that act on the particle, and divide this net force by the particle's mass. (Newton's second law).
