Computer Modeling Project

A program called VIDLE with a shortcut, "VPython", allows us to visualize vector quantities and explore the computer programming language.

The project required me to create 2 spheres at different locations and connect them by 1 arrow. I had to name each sphere differently so that the program would know that they were different.

Now I created 3 spheres and connected them each with arrows. In order to connect them with arrows, I had to tell the program to position the arrows at one sphere and set the axis at the other sphere. 

Here I just increased the size of the spheres by increasing the radii and then set up the arrows with vector quantities.

Summary:

• Computer modeling is great for displaying objects of different sizes in relation to one another on a 3 dimensional plane.
• By simply changing a small portion of the programing write up, I was able to change the color of the objects as well as size and location. 
• The program is also great for displaying vectors.
