One of the most important topics taught at the start of introductory physics is the idea of vectors. Students really need proficiency with them if they are to use force and momentum. Just about every ...

I recently facilitated a workshop for high school physics teachers in South Africa (two workshops actually---one in Johannesburg and one in Cape Town). The goal of the workshop was to introduce ...

Python is simple to use, but it is a real programming language, offering much more structure and support for large programs than shell scripts or batch files can ...

In this Python Physics lesson, we explore modeling current as a function of time in RC circuits. Learn how to simulate the charging and discharging behavior of resistors and capacitors using Python, ...

Learn how physics and programming come together in this Python simulation of elastic collisions! In this tutorial, we explore the fundamental principles of momentum and energy conservation while ...
