Simulation and Analysis of a Gauss Cannon Using Newtonian and Lagrangian Dynamics
This report presents the derivation, numerical implementation, and analysis of the equations of motion for a one-dimensional Gauss cannon. Both Newtonian and Lagrangian formulations are examined, and numerical integration is carried out using a fourth-order Runge--Kutta method. The behavior of the inbound and outbound steel balls is studied, and comparisons are made between theoretical predictions and numerical results.
Application is no longer available.
