Howdy folks,
I have been given the opportunity to do some extra credit for my mechanics class. As an assignment, my prof would like to see a 3D trajectory plotted via a program (like Python).
My basic assignment is to plot the trajectory of a soccer ball after it has been kicked. I don't need help with the physics equations, but I need to know what programs I can use and if one is better than the other. No worries learning the coding language, I have a lot of experience with Java, vb script, etc...
Ideally, I'd like to use a program that has a simple 3D plot of trajectory, and it would be even better if I could save the results as an independent program. If not, no big deal. Also, it would be superb if I could put in switches in the graphical output for things like turning wind on and off, air resistance, etc... If not, I'm sure I can just write multiple programs for each instance.
Thanks!
