Figure SP3.2

A spacecraft consists of a main cabin and a power source, connected by a transparent orange tube.

The first slider changes the constant density radius of the power source

The second slider changes the constant density size of the main cabin

A blue arrow locates the blue center of mass of the two particle system

When the FIRE button is pressed, a force is applied and the object accelerates.

There is no rotation as this is a particle system.


Radius: Range is from 1 to 3
Size: Range is from 1 to 3
