OSP-based Programs for Advanced Physics:
Classical Orbit Programs
gravitation.PlanetApp shows a planet orbiting a massive central
star in Cartesian coordinates. The initial position (x,y) and velocity (vx,vy)
of the orbiting mass can be set.You can change the following parameters in the OSP Control window:
x0:
sets the initial position in the x direction.
y0:
sets the initial position in the y direction.
vx0:
sets the initial velocity in the x direction.
vy0:
sets the initial velocity in the y direction.
dt:
sets the time step.
