ABSTRACT
In section 9.1.3 I mentioned that if an object’s origin is placed at its center of mass, then its linear motion will be just like that of a particle. We’ll make use of that fact in this chapter. Almost all the code for the linear motion of our rigid body is lifted directly from our particle class. To this we will add two things:
1. The laws of motion for rotating bodies, equivalent to the way we implemented Newton’s second law of motion.
