Overview
Learn to model a Porsche 911's quarter-mile acceleration using Python physics calculations in this 28-minute educational video. Analyze real-world data from a Motortrend article to develop a mathematical model that demonstrates how the sports car accelerates with constant power while accounting for friction limitations. Follow along with the provided Python code implementation using Trinket.io, extract data points using Web Digitizer, and gain practical experience in applying physics concepts to automotive performance modeling.
