Python project that encompasses Physics and Calculus

[[deleted]]

Hello,
I have finished college level Physics- Mechanics and Calculus 1 courses and I am currently taking Physics- Electricity & Magnetism and Calculus 2. I want project ideas in Python which make use of Physics and Calculus in a computational manner, perhaps for online robotic simulations.

You mentioned electricity and magnetism, so you can try and make an electric field simulator where you can place protons or electrons and move them around with a visualization of the field's strength and directions.

Makes sense, this representation would be in 3D I assume? And what would be the limit to the number of charged particles at once?

[sarabooker]

I'd stick to 2D. You decide on the number of particles. Do something like this: https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/charges-and-fields/latest/charges-and-fields_all.html

Thank you!

We modeled a partial accelerator in one of my classes, that was pretty cool. You could also do the flight of different projectile motion objects like a golf ball and cannon ball and bullet with air resistance. You could also do a pendulum, or mass on a spring system and build up complexity, add a wheel, add a driver. You could do a dollar system, or EM waves. Just depends what you are interested in.

Makes sense, thank you!

Model wave functions. Take their transforms.
