To simulate the elastic collisions between two disks and the surrounding walls in MATLAB, you can follow these steps:
Define the parameters of the system:
Set the initial positions of the disks and the walls.
Use a loop to perform the collision simulation for a desired duration or until a specific condition is met.
3.1. Calculate the new velocities of the disks after the collision using the equations of elastic collision:
main.m140 chars3 lines
3.2. Update the positions of the disks using their velocities and the timestep of the simulation.
3.3. Check for collisions with the walls and update the velocities and positions accordingly. For each disk, check if its position is beyond the boundaries of the walls and reverse the corresponding velocity component if a collision occurs.
Visualize the simulation using MATLAB's plotting capabilities or any other visualization library.
Here's an example of how the code for this simulation might look like:
main.m2293 chars69 lines
Make sure to adjust the parameters according to your specific requirements.
