# relativity
|
|
|
|
Arduino library with relativity functions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
This experimental library implements a number of functions that give indication of the time dilation etc due to relativistic speed.
|
|
|
|
Goal: Educational purposes or when one puts a cubesat into space :)
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Interface
|
|
|
|
- **relativity()** constructor
|
|
- **double getC()** returns speed of light
|
|
- **double getG()** returns gravitational constant
|
|
- **double factor(double speed)** returns sqrt(1-v2/c2)
|
|
- **double gamma(double speed)** returns 1/sqrt(1-v2/c2)
|
|
- **double relativeTime(double time, double speed)** returns the relative time for given time and speed.
|
|
- **double relativeLength(double length, double speed)** returns the relative length for given length and speed.
|
|
- **double relativeMass(double mass, double speed)** returns the relative mass for given mass and speed.
|
|
- **double EnergyMass(double mass, double speed)** returns the energyMass for given mass and speed. Think E = mc^2.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Caching variants
|
|
|
|
These functions are the same however the math to calculate a given factor and gamma is done only once and cached. So these function will perform a bit better, especially if floating point is slow.
|
|
|
|
- **void setSpeed(double speed = 0)** set the speed once and calculate the factor and gamma to minimize math for next functions. Think caching.
|
|
- **double getSpeed()** returns speed set.
|
|
- **double getFactor()** returns factor for speed set
|
|
- **double getGamma()** returns gamma for speed set.
|
|
- **double relativeTime(double time)** returns the relative time for speed set with **setSpeed()**.
|
|
- **double relativeLength(double length)** returns the relative length for speed set.
|
|
- **double relativeMass(double mass)** returns the relative mass for speed set.
|
|
- **double EnergyMass(double mass)** returns the energy mass for for speed set.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Gravity effects
|
|
|
|
- **double gravitationalTime(double time, double speed)** returns time dilation due to gravitational effects.
|
|
- **double diameterEarth(uint8_t longitude = 45)** calculates the diameter of the Earth given it is not a nice circle but more an ellipse, flatter on the poles and thicker on the equator.
|
|
Longitude is in (absolute) degrees.
|
|
- **double getPlanetMass(uint8_t n)** returns planet mass in kg where 0 = Sun, 1 = Mercury etc
|
|
- **double getPlanetRadius(uint8_t n)** returns planet radius in kg where 0 = Sun, 1 = Mercury etc
|
|

|
|
|
## Operations
|
|
|
|
See examples for typical usage.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Future
|
|
|
|
- test test test test
|
|
- add more functions
|
|
- fix some overflow conditions.
|
|
|
|
- add moons?
|
|
- add caching version of mass / radius;
