Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
Read VPython code and describe the underlying physics concept that has been implied for writing the program. Simulate motion by creating a VPython program including the representation of position, velocity and acceleration vectors on the screen. Write a VPython program as a solution to a Newton's mechanics physics problem and visualize on the computer screen common physical properties. Solve problems containing Newton's mechanics that include the effects of friction and drag forces.
