General Relativity Programs:
Classical Orbit Programs

  

Simulations

  • Newton Orbit shows trajectories and effective potential plots for particles acted on by a 1/r2 central force.

  • Newton Explosion compares trajectories of particles ejected from an explosion with the same speed but different directions.

  • Kepler compares the trajectories of particles traveling in circular orbits with different radii.

  • Tangent Throw compares the trajectories of particles thrown from a point with different tangential velocities.
