For the simulation of nuclear explosion, there are at least three sets of equations that should be used together:
Nuclear reactions themselves, collisions and decays, at some given temperature, penetrating fast particles, and abundance of particular nuclei and slow particles, to get the rate of all changes to those numbers, and the energy effect. Maybe the ...

For each body, you keep its velocity, position, and any other changing properties in variables. Whether you organize them as having all properties of each object in a struct (or object) associated with that body, as in Brandon Enright's comment, or keep an array of all x coordinates, an array of all y coordinates, etc. each indexed by body, doesn't matter. ...

What do you mean by "Earth's position + 10000 km"? Do you mean 10000 km further from the sun than Earth, or do you mean on the same orbit around the sun and 10000 km ahead of Earth?
Anyway, +-10000 km shouldn't matter much - if the spacecraft has the same velocity as Earth and you don't add an escape velocity, it should stay roughly on the same orbit. I ...

In regards to wind resistance, it is negligible at running speeds in comparison to its value as air conditioning. The reason bicyclists can cycle for much longer than runners can run is from the much better cooling obtained from greater wind resistance!
The increased drag is of course more than made up for by the vastly greater efficiency of cycling.

The horizontal component of running is believed to be fairly negligible for humans. Some research suggests that the limit isn't strength related at all, but design --- in particular, based solely on power, humans could theoretically run up to almost 40 mph. The issue is two fold: first, our limbs are actually too heavy, for big strength (e.g. climbing in ...
