circular motion ex 10

[samibouziri]

in exercice 10, we the same energy function O I am getting an elliptical motion (nearly circular) with h =0.033 and K =32 and a circular motion with h = 0.01 and K=96 (i divided by 3 the h and multiplied by 3 the number of frames to obtain the same trajectory) . I wanted to know if the problem is with my energy function or with the integration scheme.

As long as the spaceship stays in orbit if you keep the simulation running for more than K steps, it should be considered a good solution.
