Presentation Transcript

    1. Basic Modeling Tools and Computational Physics David Joiner

    2. Outline Simple Tools VenSim MATLAB Excel Examples Modeling Projectile Motion (VenSim simulation, MATLAB simulation, Excel Simulation, Interactive Physics simulation) Calculator++ Systems of Equations (solve function in MATLAB) Bicycle Physics (MATLAB model)

    3. A simple problem seen many ways Projectile motion F = m x Reduce to system of 2 first order equations Vensim Graphical solution Excel Eulers method with sliders MATLAB Program directly or use solvers

    4. Modeling as homework help Object fired up a ramp towards plateau, where does object land? Students have difficulty choosing solution method Numerical solution and visualization can help guide problem solving

    5. Calculator ++ Systems of equations Show students ability to use technology to solve systems Focus on problem solving as setting up systems instead of searching for a chain of equations Linear Systems Block on table with friction Pulley Hanging block Non-linear systems Range of angles for field goal kick

    6. Calculator ++ The Bike-o-matic 3000 Problem based activity Students study rotational physics by designing the gear ratio for a childs bike (single gear w/ fixed ratio) MATLAB used as a worksheet to keep track of calculations, and to modify them for new inputs Students feed a gear ratio two teams at a time in a race simulator
