    Simulation of the motion of planets under the effect of the gravitational force

    Hello. I tried to make a program which simulated the movement of planets under the effect of the gravitational force. Here is my program: n=5; mass=1; speed=0; scale=3000; distance=1; time=200; p=0.001; G=1; x=distance*(2*rand(1,n)-1); y=distance*(2*rand(1,n)-1); m=mass*rand(1,n)...
