36-Body Problem Simulation with Collisions | Gravity | Physics Simulations
A simulation of the three-body problem / n-body problem with 36 free masses in two-dimensional space. Each mass moves under the gravity of the others. The masses start with equal distances from each other, and the same speed, moving along a tangent to the circle formed by the positions of the masses. The masses can collide. Their collisions are almost, but not quite, perfectly elastic.
Newtonian Gravity
all masses equal
chaos / chaotic motion
velocities and positions calculated using Euler integration
