22TWO-DIMENSIONAL MOTION
In the previous chapter, we modeled an object moving in one dimension, with and without drag. Now let’s move on to two dimensions, and baseball!
In this chapter we’ll model the flight of a baseball including the effect of air resistance. In the next chapter we’ll use this model to solve an optimization problem.
This chapter is available as a Jupyter notebook where you can read the text, run the code, and work on the exercises. You can access the notebooks at https://allendowney.github.io/ModSimPy.
Assumptions and Decisions
To model the flight of a baseball, we have to make some decisions. To get started, we’ll ignore any ...
