Model Specification
System Schema
Internal Constituents: Point particle.
External Agents: External influences must be absent or else cancel so that no acceleration results.
Descriptors
Object Variables: e.g. m, l
State Variables: e.g. v, x, t
Interaction Variables: e.g. F, a
Laws of Interaction
e.g. F = -G mm/r^2
Laws of Change
Example:
\begin
$v_
= v_
+ a (t_
- t_
)$\end
