Simulating particle physics
Now that we've covered the basics of classical physics, let's put it all together. In this recipe, we'll simulate particle physics by modeling gravity, boundary conditions, collision damping, and floor friction.
How to do it...
Follow these steps to launch a particle inside the canvas and observe it's projectile path as it bounces on the walls, gradually falls down to the floor due to gravity, and then slows to a stop due to floor friction:

applyPhysics()function which takes a particle as input and updates its position and velocity based ...
