Description
In Spring 2023, I gave my University Physics class a short computer project to teach students about orbital motion. The project required students to solve the equation of motion numerically and to compare the numerical solution to the theoretical orbits. Depending on the initial position and velocity of an object, students were able to see different types of orbits. In this presentation, I will discuss how this project was implemented.
