[GSST Computational Physics @GsstPhysics]

@NHREC_VA Students are exploring the Principle of Superposition, Harmonics, and Standing Waves. A standing wave is naturally produced on a string when both ends are fixed.

[GSST Computational Physics @GsstPhysics]

Today students are introduced to modular programming. It is the process of subdividing a computational program into separate sub-programs to solve complex problems in Physics easily.

Computational Physics students are coding in Python to locate and determine speed of a geosynchronous satellite. It is a satellite that appears to "hover" over one spot on the Equator.

[GSST Computational Physics @GsstPhysics]

This week the students were studying circular motion and applications of Newton's second law.

[GSST Computational Physics @GsstPhysics]

In computation, loops are important tools to create dynamic programs that can do repetitive calculations. Using nested loops, students are competing in drawing diamond shaped figure. The winning teams are here... Outstanding team work!

Students analyze and explore projectile motion. As soon as the projectile is shot from the launcher, the target is released. The projectile hits the target as it falls, proving that both objects accelerate downward at the same rate.
