Functions
void	calculateV (ParticleContainer &particles, double delta_t)
	Calculates the velocity \( v \) for all Particle objects in a given ParticleContainer.

Detailed Description

Strategy functions for calculating the velocity of one or more particles.

Function Documentation

Calculates the velocity \( v \) for all Particle objects in a given ParticleContainer.

The velocity \( v_i \) of a given particle \( i \) at the next unit of time \( t_{n+1} \) is calculated using the formula

\[ v_i(t_{n+1}) = v_i(t_n) + \Delta t \frac{F_i(t_n) + F_i(t_{n+1})}{2m_i}. \]

Parameters

particles	The ParticleContainer containing the Particle objects to iterate over.
delta_t	The timestep \( \Delta t \).
