Science & Physics Discussion

Explore how to model and graph dynamic pressure over time during a rocket launch using Python. Understand velocity calculations from acceleration, altitude estimation, and air density variations with altitude. This lesson helps you apply physics concepts with Python functions to visualize dynamic pressure effectively.

We'll cover the following...

- Velocity
- Density

This section explains the assumptions made to ultimately calculate dynamic pressure as a function of time, which requires a brief discussion about physics.

The equation for dynamic pressure q is $\frac{1}{2} * \rho * V^2$ where $\rho$ is the density of air and V is velocity. You want to build two equations so that you have density and velocity as functions of time (so that we can calculate dynamic pressure as $\frac{1}{2} * \rho(t) * V(t)^2$ ...
