Kepler Orbit Simulator

Kepler Orbit Controls

GM:

Initial Velocity (v₀):

Angle (°):

Simulation Speed:
0.1

Kinetic Energy: \(K = \frac{1}{2} m (v_x^2 + v_y^2)\)

Potential Energy: \(U = - \frac{G M m}{r}\)

Total Mechanical Energy: \(E = K + U = \frac{1}{2} m (v_x^2 + v_y^2) - \frac{G M m}{r}\)

Type of Orbit:

Drag the planet to set its starting position before clicking Start.
