3D Physics Simulations

Authors

Summary

Physics is inevitable. Whether a light switch is being turned on, or a glass of water is being poured, physics is at work. At times, conceptualizing basic physical properties can be quite difficult. However, with the aid of 3D graphics, understanding the properties, such as electricity or gravitation, is more natural. To simulate certain phenomena, we developed several user-friendly Python scripts. Below are a few images of the executed scripts.
