Current Physics Data

Time: 0.0 s
Height above surface: 0.0 km
Velocity: 5.00 km/s
Maximum height reached: 1600.0 km

Physics Model: This simulation uses energy conservation to model rocket trajectory. Initial kinetic energy (½mv²) converts to gravitational potential energy (GMm/r) as the rocket climbs, reaching maximum height when all kinetic energy is converted to potential energy.
