When considering TC/MC scaling, we should consider how different parameters are related to one another. In Barnes-Hut, the accuracy threshold ($\Theta$) and time step ($\Delta t$) should be scaled relative to n. These parameters contribute to the execution time of Barnes Hut which is given as $\frac{1}{\Theta^2 \Delta t} * n log n$.
