Using the orbit.m function in MatLab, which depicts the movement of 1 body being acted upon another body based upon initial conditions. We will explore the many applications that this and alter it's composition for up to 3 objects. Here are two 1-bodied examples with two different mehods:
Euler Method:
Trapezoid Method:
| Project 3: 6.3.9-11: Celestial Mechanics |
|
6.3.9: Reformating \(orbit.m\) for the two-bodied problem.
|
|
6.3.10: Reformating \(orbit.m\) for the three-bodied problem
|
|
6.3.11: Solving a three-bodied problem for initial conditions and defining explinations for error.
