Using VPython in the Classroom...

Sample Code:

Kinematics:

• Falling Bodies 1 (with air resistance)
• Falling Bodies 2 (air resistance but uses more "sophisticatd" vector math)
• The Monkey and the Gun (Lawyer and the Gun, Physics Prof and the Gun etc)

Forces and Impulse

• Multi-tap

Forces and Energy

• Ramp with friction
• SHM 1 (vertical spring)
• SHM2 (horizontal spring)

Electricity and Magnetism

• magnetic field around wire
• solenoid
• toroid

Code Snippets:

(cut and paste some or all of the following into code that you write)

• Mouse interaction
• Graphing
• Axes
• Drawing Curves
• Drawing Vectors
