GravitySimulation class

A simulation that applies a constant accelerating force.

Models a particle that follows Newton's second law of motion. The simulation ends when the position reaches a defined point.

This method triggers an AnimationController (a previously constructed _controller field) to simulate a fall of 300 pixels.
void _startFall() {
  _controller.animateWith(GravitySimulation(
    10.0, // acceleration, pixels per second per second
    0.0, // starting position, pixels
    300.0, // ending position, pixels
    0.0, // starting velocity, pixels per second
  ));
}

This AnimationController could be used with an AnimatedBuilder to animate the position of a child as if it was falling.

Constructors

GravitySimulation(double acceleration, double distance, double endDistance, double velocity)
Creates a GravitySimulation using the given arguments, which are, respectively: an acceleration that is to be applied continually over time; an initial position relative to an origin; the magnitude of the distance from that origin beyond which (in either direction) to consider the simulation to be "done", which must be positive; and an initial velocity.
