[Visualpython-users] various projectile motion examples

[Lenore H. <lh...@si...>]

I've made some vpython simulations of varying degrees of  
sophistication.  If you are interested, you can find them here.   
Bruce,  I don't know how things get into the contributed programs, but  
if you think any are worthy, you are welcome to post them there.

Iterative set of simulations looking at falling drops without and then  
with air resistance.

A simulation with extensive user controls for air resistance in  
projectile motion.  Thank you, Bruce, for your help with this.  This  
requires the posted modified controls module.

A simulation of Newton's cannon with too small a velocity in  
comparison to falling-through-the-center-of-the-Earth in once case  
assuming all Earth's mass is at the center and in the other assuming a  
uniform density for the Earth.  (All of this assumes a spherical Earth.)
