C++ Physics Simulation Tutorials

Can you help me understand how to simulate gravity in C++?

Sure! To simulate gravity, you can create a function that updates the position of an object based on its velocity and the gravitational force.

What formula should I use to calculate the gravitational force?

You can use Newton's law of universal gravitation: F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2, where G is the gravitational constant.

How do I implement this in a C++ program?

You can define a class for your objects, then create a method to apply the gravitational force and update their positions accordingly.

Can you provide a simple code example?

Absolutely! Here's a basic example:

class Object {
public:
    float mass;
    float position;
    float velocity;

    void applyGravity(float gravity) {
        velocity += gravity;
        position += velocity;
    }
};

This class can be used to simulate the effect of gravity on an object.
