In this work, we study, simulate and compare the constrained motion of a particle within two theoretical models: a relativistic and a Newtonian. The main objective is to get the user…
GR Embedding Program  [ Computer Program ]
  
Match Score:
100
Byline:
W. Christian, M. Belloni, and A. Cox
Post a comment | Relations
The GR Embedding program displays a representation of the curvature of space near a massive object. GR Embedding is part of a suite of Open Source Physics programs that model aspects…
GR Classical Program  [ Computer Program ]
  
Match Score:
100
Byline:
W. Christian, M. Belloni, and A. Cox
Post a comment | Relations
The GR Classical program simulates orbits of objects around a central mass using Newtonian mechanics. It also displays a plot of the effective potential well in which the orbiting…
