This function introduces a new celestial or physical body into your `orbit_system`. You must provide a unique identifier and its mass. By default, the body will be placed at the origin (0, 0, 0) with zero initial velocity unless specified.
Arguments
- system
An `orbit_system` object created by `create_system()`.
- id
A unique character string to identify the body (e.g., "Earth", "Apollo").
- mass
The mass of the object in kilograms.
- x
Initial X-axis position in meters (default 0).
- y
Initial Y-axis position in meters (default 0).
- z
Initial Z-axis position in meters (default 0).
- vx
Initial velocity along the X-axis in meters per second (default 0).
- vy
Initial velocity along the Y-axis in meters per second (default 0).
- vz
Initial velocity along the Z-axis in meters per second (default 0).
Examples
if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
my_universe <- create_system() |>
add_body(id = "Earth", mass = 5.97e24) |>
add_body(id = "Moon", mass = 7.34e22, x = 3.84e8, vy = 1022)
} # }
