In this Repository I am going to publish Physic Simulations I made in p5.js.
This Repository will be my diary as I improve my skills in javascript with p5.js as well as my general understanding of physics.
The code is going to have a lot of comments that show my learn and though process. I hope you enjoy!
This project is the first physics simulation I made using p5.js. I showed the electric field created by Electrons and Protons by calculating the Force applied to small charges on the Canvas and displayed these vectors with arrows. I made use of the formula for electric force on an electric field.

To add direction I just had to multiply by the distance vector normalized and finally do the same for the force vector. I used Robert Eisele Complex.js library for complex numbers/my Vectors.
I learned a lot and had a lot of fun writing this little program. I hope you like it.
The controls to use the program are simple: "q" - to spawn Proton "w" - to spawn Electron "e" - to draw electric field "r" - to remove last cerated Particle
In this Project I simulated moving mechanical waves using this function:

The function takes x and t as an input, the time passed and the x-position of a point, and gives you the corresponding y-value. I added nice sliders so one can easily modify amplitude, swingDuration and waveLength for the wave themselves. If you want to add a wave just create a new Wave in sketch.setup(). I hope you enjoy!
