Animation Definition and 89 Threads

Nicely done. Supercomputer? They say the animation is real time but wouldn't the real thing be much quicker?

Here is my code thus far and it seems to work (I've attached a gif as well so hopefully that works) va1 = [50*cos(pi/3), 50*sin(pi/3)]; %Two different vectors both starting from the origin vb1 = [20*cos(pi/6), 20*sin(pi/6)]; iterator = linspace(1,100,100); %100 iterations for the animation...

I want to watch and learn more n more physics concepts with the help of animations, please tell me where can i get more n more videos like this. Such as bernoulli's theorem

I've tried to make an animation using python to demonstrate the 1-D simple harmonic oscillator and step potential examples. Hope that it can be useful for some of you. Have fun~ :) https://blog.gwlab.page/solving-1-d-schrodinger-equation-in-python-dcb3518ce454 By the way, If you are...

Mind bending. It makes our attempts to describe such things using words on PF seem so futile. https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap210416.html

I've been learning Python and I've got a program to generate Knight's tours on a chessboard. The output is in the format A1-C2 ... What software would I need, for example, to produce an animation of the knight hopping round a chessboard?

At the very bottom of this page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minkowski_diagram is the below animation. My understanding is that events in the lower triangle are events that can have had an influence on my present, they are in my past-lightcone. I understand that events must move in and...

I have written a Javascript/HTML5 app that simulates a Light Clock as a way to understand the kinematics of relativity. It shows special and general relativistic effects, and how they are related. I would appreciate any feedback on the app, it's correctness, and it's usefulness as a learning...

This is not a homework question, it is for my understanding so please do not answer this question with a question. I have found this great animated gif but it appears to be for a fixed end (notice wave inversions at the end). Has anyone seen a similar one for a free end? Many Thanks

I would like to produce an animated video to demonstrate some 3D physical motions. I'm a bit intimidated. My artistic skills never got beyond stick men. I have zero experience with video, or animation. I'm worried about the learning curve. My specific ambition is to depict an array of...

It is torque animation.

I am trying to animate a plot of two distinct points (blue and green points) moving about the complex unit circle using Python's Matplotlib library. The problem I am having is that the animation does not remove and update the previous data points but rather sequentially smears it on the unit...

I want to make an animation where a (red) ball departs from (0,0) and draws the function ##f(x) = sin x## This is what I know: How to plot ##f(x) = sin x## To do so I followed instructions from the worksheet. Actually I'd have done: But I guess they want to me to it in that way because...

hello everyone, I`m trying to make 3d animation from numerical simulation data. Can someone recommend good software for me Thanks in advance

Hello, Does anyone know of a science forum that deals with far out, controversial theories & ideas? This would be similar to the science fiction forum here at PF but may even be more outlandish, however postings would receive serious consideration. I have made some simple animations that I...

Hi, I am working on a video, and I was wondering if any of you knew of some real-life demonstrations I can do about black holes? So far I have the gravity well, and the balloon covered by foil that you crush to show same mass but denser. My video is about the anatomy of a black hole, so I cover...

There is a relationship between each of the mathematical values in each of the paradoxes with regard to each observers. There is obviously also a relationship between every situation we study in the Special Theory of Relativity. The Lorentz Transformations obviously prove this. So, I began to...

I'm trying to find an algorithm for extending an arm as close as possible to an object. There's two bones the upper arm bone and the lower arm bone, and three points : shoulder , elbow, hand How can I figure out the closest possible configuration towards a fourth point which is the object it's...

Hi, i am 3D Artist and create 3D visualizations like this. Now I want generate a 3D animation about science fiction like star wars. Can I create a 3D animation about Star wars or I need a license of lucasarts. Thanks.

This is an interesting QM video. It would be interesting to get opinions about it from the QM students and experts alike.

I'm trying to use the Animate function on Mathematica to show a gaussian wave packet passing through a delta potential. I'm quite new to Mathematica and this is by far the hardest thing I've had to do so please bear with me. I effectively want to solve the integral: ## \phi_k(x) = \left\{...

I am trying to find an animation (from the internet) explaining the intricate balance of heavenly bodies (stars, planets, satellites, comets etc) in their own orbits. What happens if there is a sudden change in anyone of characteristics of those heavenly bodies. Is a small perturbation in...

This is a great video animation of earthquake activity across the Earth over time:

I'm trying to generate contours that plot with the animation using contour(X,Y) but it's not quite working. I only need it to be in the x-y plane at 0km depth (see picture for greater clarification) % A script to plot two 3D waves. clear %Define the total time for simulation T_total=10; %Set...

I'm a student working on a short experimental animation. I've always had a fascination with the number 24 because it's divisible by 6 four times and divisible by 8 three times... you can add different numbers at a different rate and end up at the exact same number after a specific amount of...

I was going through a website and a man popped out from side in screen. What is this effect called generally? The man stopped talking when I clicked on him but it was not a video. Anybody has gone through this effect?

Which are the most common tools that can be used to create such videos ?

I would like to plot a number of 3D graphs from different data files. For example I am using fid = fopen('SS 1.dat','r'); to read the first file and then plot a graph. How to set the program to change the name to 'SS 2.dat' automatically? Also for the tenth file the name becomes 'SS 10.dat'...

Hello! Can you give me an advice about a program (free program probably) where i can program an animation of a moving particle along some surface for a presentation? Now I'm trying to use Animate in Wolfram Mathematica, but it is not, what I'm looking for from the design point of view... Thank you!

And how electrons behave in each separate orbital? I was told that, in case of Boron, electron in 3p orbital will not be confined to the imaginary region of the 3p orbital (3px orbital, whose shape resembles a bowtie), but instead will be moving around the nucleus as if its movement was confined...

Hello! I need some help in Mathematica, because I'm newbie in using this program. I've a kernel for a propagator, what i want to integrate numerically by p (because the problem hasn't got analitical solution) to receive the propagator. Next i want to use that propagator for an initial...

$$ p(r,\theta) = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sum_{n = -\infty}^{\infty}r^{|n|}e^{in\theta} = \frac{1}{2\pi}\left[\frac{1 - r^2}{1 - 2r\cos\theta + r^2}\right]. $$ So I produced the graph but it won't animate. MyR = Table[r, {r, 0, 1, .1}]; u[\[Theta]_] = 1/(2*Pi)*((1 - r^2)/(1 - 2*r*Cos[\[Theta]] + r^2))...

Someone posted this animation in a previous discussion and I just 'rediscovered' it in my notes: http://www.adamtoons.de/physics/gravitation.swf Do you experts think it accurate, and if so, wouldn't this be a nice tool to display coordinate time versus proper time?? [Is it worth...
