Orbit Sim

This simple simulation, made for our physics project.

How to play:

on the bottom left of the screen, you see a button, a spawn box, and two sliders. The size slider determines how big or small the object will be. Past a certain size it will become a star. The mass slider determines the gravitational strength of this object.

Once you have your desired values, click on the "spawn object" button to spawn the gravitational object. Simply drag and drop it to the desired location

To spawn the gravitationally effected object, drag and drop the blue dot to the desired position. Then, utilize the sliders on the right side of the screen to input the values for the launch angle and the force applied. The red arrow indicates it launch angle Once you have your desired values click on the "spawn meteor" button to spawn a meteor at the position of the blue dot. The blue dot will return to its start position

Now watch the meteor's path get effected by gravity
