| + | Good afternoon, campers! In this session we'll be | ||
| + | * talking about the physics of projectiles, e.g. a baseball in flight, | ||
| + | * looking at the equations of motion of projectiles, with and without turbulent air resistance | ||
| + | * using numerical simulation methods to solve those equations | ||
| + | * plotting the results and figuring out the minimum speed and optimum angle to hit a home run | ||
| + | * comparing what happens at Fenway to what happens in Denver | ||
| + | |||
| + | You'll need to | ||
| + | * make a new folder on your computer: ''C:\Users\guestmech\techcamp-2017'' | ||
| + | * download some Matlab files (below) and put them in that folder | ||
| + | * start Matlab from the application menu | ||
| + | * open up that folder in Matlab, either from the menu or by typing ''cd C:\Users\guestmech\techcamp-2017'' at the command prompt | ||
| + | * click on [[gibson:teaching:summer-2017:techcamp:numerical-baseball | Simulating the flight of a baseball]] | ||
| + | * and then [[gibson:teaching:summer-2017:techcamp:computer-homerun | Hitting a home run]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | Matlab files for you to download and run on the computer. | ||
