Vpythonintro - Detailed Analysis
An 8-minute introduction to the 3D programming environment VPython by Bruce Sherwood. Getting into a programming environment (trinket.io) and doing basic arithmetic calculations. gravity force, vertical motion only momentum and position updates Error in video: gravity force calculation multiplies by mass ... Finding opposite direction of velocity for drag force. Plotting an unrealistic function for dependence of drag on speed. Making arrows, to represent displacement vectors. Calculate magnitude and norm of vectors. Total displacement for a "closed path".
3D plotting with Python and VPython. Here, we use our earlier understanding of functions to plot the base of our solid, and provide ... Wouldn't it be nice to be able to generate interactive 3D visualizations of physical systems in a declarative manner with Python?
