Re: [Phys-l] Interactive Physics Question

.... how
to make it begin moving at a constant speed at any time other than the start
of the simulation. Does anyone out there know how to do that?

Brief, reeeally large acceleration at the appointed time.

Note that a discontinuous change in velocity is unphysical.
Therefore we shouldn't be surprised that it is hard to model.
