Science & Physics Discussion

Discuss the science, physics, and assumptions behind the modeling being used.

We'll cover the following...

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 12ρV2\frac{1}{2} * \rho * V^2 where ρ\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 12ρ(t)V(t)2\frac{1}{2} * \rho(t) * V(t)^2 ...
