Background

Hello this Liam Patel UH ID and my project is a Qualitative simulator of small particle interactions

Requirements

-python 3.8+

-pygame

pip install pygame

Forces

1. Electric Force

   Utilized Coulomb's Law F=(Kq1q2/r)to calculate electric force between every particle in the simulation

   radius = math.sqrt((dx)**2 + (dy)**2)/20
   force_magnitude = (p1.charge* p2.charge)/ (radius**2)
   fx = force_magnitude *dx / radius
   fy = force_magnitude * dy/radius

2. Gravitational Force

   Utilized the over simplified equation (F=mg) to calcuate the gravitational force due to earths gravity.

   def force_gravity(self,p1,dt):
       Fg = p1.mass * 9.8
       ay = Fg / p1.mass
       p1.vel.y += ay * dt

3. Strong Nuclear Force

   Utilized my own algorithm to create a visually accurate force. First I made sure the force only worked at very close distances between nucleons. I also made sure to make sure the strong nuclear force overpowered any other force in the simulation, due to its strong nature.

   force_magnitude = (g**2) *math.exp(-radius*range_force)/range_force
       if radius < range_force:
           p1.nuke=True
           p2.nuke = True
           p1.vel *= -((radius/2)**2)
           p2.vel *= -((radius/2)**2)
       else:
           p1.nuke = False
           p2.nuke = False
