Forces
These video lessons accompany Chapter 2 (Forces) from The Nature of Code book.
- #2.1
What is a Force
29 Jul 2015This video discusses the definition of a “force” as well as an overview of Newton’s 3 laws of motion.
- #2.2
Applying a Force
29 Jul 2015This video covers how to apply a force to a moving object in Processing. These forces are “made-up” values and don’t yet involve more complex formulae (coming soon!)
- #2.3
Simulating with Mass
29 Jul 2015This video shows how to add mass to your object for a simulation with shapes of different sizes.
- #2.4
Friction Force
30 Jul 2015In this video, we cover how to simulate friction in code.
- #2.5
Drag Force
30 Jul 2015This video covers a drag force in Processing. A drag force is when an object comes into contact with a liquid or gas (air resistance, fluid resistance, also called a “viscous force”)
- #2.6
Gravitational Attraction
30 Jul 2015This video covers attraction forces (modeled after gravity) between objects.
