STUDY OF BINDING ENERGY OF PHYSICAL SYSTEMS USING THE NUMERICAL METHOD

Abstract

The article presents the results of the study of the phenomenon of binding energy through the application package MathCAD. As a physical system, bodies and charged particles in the fields of gravitational and electric attraction are considered. The principle of superposition is used to calculate the field potential. The article presents a comparative analysis between the theoretical results of
computer research and advances in astronautics. It is proved that the binding energy, as one of the interpretations of potential
energy, has a wide application for the study of different nature systems consisting of interacting (more precisely, mutually attracting) bodies or particles. The mechanism of interaction between bodies is examined in detail. Graphical interpretations of the potential well for the following physical systems are presented: material points, charged bodies and nucleons in the nucleus.
