##Kinetic Energy  In the first three initial orbital periods of the simulation, the kinetic energy of the system oscillates between 9.3e-2 and 0.1, but quickly stabilizes to a value of around 9.6e-2, where it remains nearly constant for the remainder of the simulation. Kinetic energy undergoes erratic oscillations, but these are only on the order of about .07e-2, or 1.2%. Once the kinetic energy has reached this equilibrium, there's no long-term increase or decrease in the average value.
