Example of particle system

Free fall of spheres under gravity

• - Geometrical representation of each particle: sphere
• - Equation of motion \(p(t) = \frac{1}{2} g t^2 + v_0 t + p_0\)

• - Initial position and speed may be placed at random position
• - Each particle may have a different life time

• Q. What are the parameters used for \(p_0\) and \(v_0\) in this example ?
• • \(p_0= ...\)
  • \(v_0= ...\)
