Pendulum Dynamics - Exploring Different Driving Functions
Offered By: Let's Code Physics via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the fascinating world of pendulum dynamics in this 31-minute video tutorial. Modify the driving function of a pendulum simulation to observe various behaviors and outcomes. Learn how to implement different driving patterns such as kick, sawtooth, and step functions, and visualize their effects on pendulum motion. Understand the impact of changing initial theta values on the system's behavior. Access the provided Python code, created using VPython, to experiment with the simulation yourself. Engage with the Let's Code Physics community on social media to discuss your findings and insights.
