TheFaithfulStone Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 What's the equation for graphing a "gravity well" in three dimensions? Assume that I can make the constants whatever I want. I'm wanting to arrive at something like this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_well Help. I've forgotten basic algebra. 1/r^2 just makes an unlimited parabola. tfs Quote
InfiniteNow Posted January 26, 2008 Report Posted January 26, 2008 Your link was busted. I think what you're talking about is called an asymptote?
