PhysicalObject

class PhysicalObject

Represents a physical-object and its intrinsic properties. This is useful for approximating extended objects as a uniform, continous body mass (ignoring its particulate composition).

bounds PhysicalObject.js:38

bounds: Vector<3>

Vector<3>

The mesh enclosing this object. By default, it is a "point" object at the its own position.

interactions PhysicalObject.js:46

interactions: Array<PhysicalInteraction>

Array<PhysicalInteraction>

All causal interactions with other objects

mass PhysicalObject.js:14

mass: number = 0

number

The mass of this object in kilograms.

position PhysicalObject.js:22

position: Vector<3> = [0, 0, 0]

Vector<3>

The absolute position of this object's center of mass (in the universal reference frame)

velocity PhysicalObject.js:30

velocity: Vector<3> = [0, 0, 0]

Vector<3>

The absolute velocity of this object (in the universal reference frame)
