Hello Fu-Kwun Hwang. This really helped me. For my finals I chose to make a physics simulation application (in Game Maker 8.0) including brownian motion.

I have tried to get the final formula for v₁' with the first two equations but I just can't get it right. Could you maybe send me the the steps you took to get there? That would be great.

I also don't know how to calculate the component of a force (or other vector) in a certain direction so if you could help me with that I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

(I don't know if I double posted but I think my first post wasn't processed or something...)

I assume you know how to find vector which connect between center of two particles.
if one is (x1,y1,z1),another one is (x2,y2,z1). then the vector $\vec{r}$ is (x2-x1,y2-y1,z2-z1).
Assume velocity of particle 1 is $vec{v}$ = (vx1,vy1,vz1),
The velocity component in the vector $vec{r}$ direction can be calculated as $\vec{v_p}=(\vec{v}\cdot\vec{r})/r^2 \vec{r}$ ,where $r$ is the length of velocity $\vec{r}=\sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2+(z2-z1)^2}$

i.e.
vx1'=((vx1*(x2-x1)+vy1*(y2-y1)+vz1*(z2-z1))/r^2) (x2-x1)
vy1'=((vx1*(x2-x1)+vy1*(y2-y1)+vz1*(z2-z1))/r^2) (y2-y1)
vz1'=((vx1*(x2-x1)+vy1*(y2-y1)+vz1*(z2-z1))/r^2) (z2-z1)

And the velocity compendicular to $vec{r}$ is $\vec{v_n}=\vec{v}-\vec{v_p}$

P.S. The inner product between $\vec{A}$ and unit vector $\hat{n}$ will give you magnitude of projection of vector $\vec{A}$ in the direction of $\hat{n}=\vec{r}/r$ , so the component in the direction $\hat{n}$ is $(\vec{A}\cdot\hat{n}) \hat{n}$

Thanks! that really helped.

Now I just need to understand JS and have a look at the source code Wink

some more error when clicking 'VIEW ejs xml source'
OOPS! EJS XML file (airplane.xml) does not exists!

download it working correctly though Cheesy

Thank you for reporting the problem. It is fixed now.
