Getting Set Up with Matplotlib
Develop the code for the dynamic pressure experienced by a rocket during launch.
We'll cover the following
Here are the two libraries that you will be using:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
Numpy
will be used below to generate ranges of values for this tutorial in 0.5-second increments and perform exponential calculations. The built-in range()
function used in FizzBuzz could very easily be used in Numpy
’s place to generate a range of numbers. The built-in range()
only accepts integer increments, which means you would lose the ability to increment by numbers less than 1. So, let’s use Numpy
’s arange()
, which accepts decimal increments.
Writing functions
You will fully write the three functions we developed in the Science & Physics Discussion section below:
