Thanks Sargondjani.
Now when I run this script:
plot(0,0,'yX')
hold on
for n = 1:1:730
del_t=24*3600;
[R V] = orbits(Ro, Vo, del_t);
plot(R(1),R(2),'go')
hold on;
Ro=R;
Vo=V;
end
calling function:
function [R V] = orbits(Ro, Vo, del_t)
Ro=[1.5e11, 0];
Vo=[0, 2*pi*Ro(1)/(365*24*60*60)];
G = 1.67e-11;
del_t=24*3600;
Ms = 1.97e30;
d = (Ro(1)^2 + Ro(2)^2)^(3/2);
a = -(G*Ms/d)* Ro;
V = Vo + a * del_t;
R = Ro + Vo * del_t + .5 * a * del_t^2;
end
I get Error in ==> two_dimensional_ac at 5
[R V] = orbits(Ro, Vo, del_t);
