2 Methods Expansion of Homework 11 structure
Transition from one asteroid to nAsteroids Modify the kepler_ode file to handle arbitrarily many bodies The Y vector must now accommodate the sun, the planet, and all nAsteroids Runge-Kutta Method works perfectly well on a larger Y vector Place asteroids between the sun and the planet at regular distance intervals and give them the same omega value as the planet va = omegap*norm(ra) Plot movement of all bodies with respect to time. Then observe which asteroids are cleared from the system and which remain. To avoid a messy image, plot only a portion of each orbit at a time Use pretty colors to maximize interest Start code by running final_project.m
