Interactive application, shown below, allows us to study the trajectories of a particle in the central power-law potential field. Interaction force [math]F[/math] is a power function of distance [math]r[/math]:

[math]F \sim r^n,[/math]

where [math]n[/math] is some real dimensionless degree exponent. The attraction center is at the [math]0[/math] point.

v0 = v1 n =
zoom = tmax = T

The application allows to set the following parameters interactively:

  • [math]v_0[/math] — initial velocity of the point. The initial velocity is directed tangentially (perpendicular to the radial direction).Velocity is measured in relation to the [math]v_1[/math] - speed circular motion on the initial distance from the center (the first cosmic speed).
  • [math]n[/math] — is an index in the law of interaction([math]n=-2[/math] corresponds to the gravitational interaction, [math]n=1[/math] - the linear-elastic).
  • zoom is the logarithmic scale of display of the schedule (the logarithm on the basis 2 is used).
  • [math]t_{\rm max}[/math] — integration time expressed in [math]T[/math] periods of circular motion at the initial distance from the center.

Besides, it is possible to set "number of the experiment". Every number has a separate set of four parameters named above and characterized by some specific kind of movement. Experiments are ordered by [math]n[/math](first), then by [math]v_0[/math].

The proposed research areas

  • To define possible variants of motion
  • To define the dependence of the distance to the epicenter (the most distant point) of the orbit from [math]n[/math] and [math]u=v_0/v_1[/math].
  • To find closed trajectories of different topologies (for example, 5th, the 7th terminating stars, etc.) and to determine their position on the plane of the parameters [math]n[/math], [math]u[/math].
  • To find a method for integrating of the equations of motion with a variable step allowing to model the movement of a point at large [math]|n|[/math] effectively.
  • • To pick up values of parameters (and to develop a method of such selection), allowing to receive "beautiful" schedules which can be considered as objects of Science Art (see in particular, last numbers of experiments).
