A school project. This is a simulation with a cube.

To run it on a unix-based operating system, run:

./gradlew run

On Windows, run:

./gradlew.bat run

This requires having the Processing Library installed and the path to the jar files updated in app/build.gradle in the repositories section.

To run a distribution, download a zip file from the releases section. Unzip it, and run the bin/App (or bin/App.bat on Windows) script.

The left and right arrow keys apply forces on the red square. The spacebar toggles friction and air resistance.

1. Elastic collisions conserve momentum and energy
2. Air resistance eventually cancels out the other forces acting on an object, resulting in terminal velocity
3. Static friction force is equal and opposite to the sum of the other forces in the plane of the surface
4. Normal force is equal and opposite to the net force exerted on the ground
5. With a constant force, acceleration is constant, and velocity continuously increases

• Don't worry about heat
• Make idealistic assumptions
• Update to a up-to-date version of Java (for LSP purposes)
  • Decouple from Processing
  • Move to a different graphics package
• Rotational Motion
• Simple Harmonic Motion
