The Physics and Engineering Physics Department at Southeast Missouri State University has adopted the “Matter and Interactions I Modern Mechanics” text by Chabay and Sherwood for our calculus based introductory physics course. We have fully integrated the use of modeling and simulations by using the Visual Python language also know as VPython. This powerful, high level, object orientated language with full three dimensional, stereo graphics has stimulated both my students and myself to find wider applications for our new found skills. We have successfully modeled gravitational resonances in planetary rings, galaxy collisions, and planetary orbits around binary star systems. This talk will provide a quick overview of VPython and demonstrate the various simulations.
