Computer Program Detail Page written by Wolfgang Christian The
Body with Thruster Model shows the motion of a disk with an
attached rocket engine. You can drag the engine to change its
distance from the center of the disk and you can adjust the
thrust of the rocket engine using sliders. The mass of the
rocket and its connecting rod are assumed to be negligible. The
trajectory of this single-body model is intuitively challenging
and difficult to visualize. The Body with Thruster Model was
created using the Easy Java Simulations (EJS) modeling tool. It
is distributed as a ready-to-run (compiled) Java archive. Double
clicking the ejs_mech_newton_BodyWithThruster.jar file will run
the program if Java is installed. Please note that this resource
requires at least version 1.5 of Java (JRE). View the source
