Simulation of distance between ship and the destination Physics 210 Final presentation Kevin Kim Nov 27th/08
Briefly about Ramjet • Theoretically it can get to relativistic speed
Maple • Animation feature • Easy help with many example codes • New language
Getting the a(t),v(t) and x(t) • Assumption: constant acceleration • Moving in 1D. No collision • Another frame with same v at some instant.
Distance left and tau(t) • Space-time diagram • Parametric equation
Velocity graph • Green:V vs tau Red: V vs time • parametric • classical physics failed.
(relatively) Close distance • 0.01lyr
Alpha Centauri • 4.73lyr
