Documentation
Simple one-particle state
type SimpleState = (TheTime, Position, Velocity)Source
A simple one-particle state, to get started quickly with mechanics of one particle.
type SimpleAccelerationFunction = SimpleState -> VecSource
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).
Arguments
| :: SimpleAccelerationFunction | acceleration function for the particle |
| -> DifferentialEquation SimpleState | differential equation |
Time derivative of state for a single particle with a constant mass.
Arguments
| :: SimpleAccelerationFunction | acceleration function for the particle |
| -> TimeStep | time step |
| -> SimpleState | initial state |
| -> SimpleState | state after one time step |
Single Runge-Kutta step
One-particle state
The state of a single particle is given by the position of the particle and the velocity of the particle.
Instances
