Three-Body Problem Simulation with Collisions | Gravity | Physics Simulations
A simulation of the three-body problem / n-body problem with three free masses in two-dimensional space. Each mass moves under the gravity of the other two. 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 three 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
