Numerical calculation of a rolling ball

This report was created in a physics class (TFY4107) at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. The report was created by Albert Strømhylden, Amund Wirstad, Magnus Trandokken and myself. The report calculated a rolling ball’s velocity and energy, and compared this to real measurements. We used Nympy to do calculations and plot the results

My main area of responsibility was to write the calculations, LaTeX functions, and plot in the Results chapter. This was the first time I used Python for a big numerical project, and it gave me more experience and confidence in Python’s mathematical abilities. The extensive use of plotting made me more comfortable with using Numpy and exploring all the visualization opportunities it gives.

Disclaimer: The report is written in Norwegian.
