Exploring Astrophysics With Python - Planetary Slingshot Boost
This is a preview of the video course, "Exploring Astrophysics in Python With pandas and Matplotlib." A rocket can change its velocity and direction by using the gravity well of a planet or star to achieve a slingshot boost. This lesson shows you how that works, then uses the pint library to calculate velocities and times using values with associated units.
This is a portion of the complete course, which you can find here:
The rest of the course covers:
- Three problems often covered in introductory astro-physics courses
- Working with dataframes in pandas
- Writing code that uses scientific units
- Visualizing information with Matplotlib
