CHAPTER 10
Long-Range Forces
In this last chapter of Part II, we’ll introduce yet more force laws. However, the approach and purpose here will be more playful than in previous chapters. You’ll learn concepts and techniques that you may not necessarily use for making realistic simulations, but more for producing fun animations and effects.
Topics covered in this chapter include the following:
- Particle interactions and force fields: There are two ways of viewing forces that act at a distance: in terms of direct interactions between particles, and in terms of force fields.
- Gravitational force: We revisit gravity as an example of a long-range force, ...
