Thanks for the long explanation, I'm still going through to make sure I get everything.
But let me try asking in another way.
If a rocket engine is burning fuel at a constant rate, will it always produce the same force? - eg. 200 Newton.
If the above is true then how can the below be...
I am sorry but it is still not clear to me.
If a spaceship has to identical rocket engines, attached at different angles to the center of mass. So firing one engine will produce more angular acceleration than firing the other.
Then would the engine producing less angular acceleration not...
After thinking a bit more about it, I must admit that there is something I still have not understood.
If a rocket engine burning fuel at a constant rate is attached to a spaceship, does it not apply the same force on the spaceship regardless of its position?
Hey.
I have been working on a relative simple 2D physics engine for a game I am making, and as I was researching the subject (rigid body mechanics) I found this article on physics in games. This pretty much answers everything. Though this is one little thing that I cannot figure out. The...
