Overview
Learn to model Earth's tidal forces using Python in this 22-minute physics tutorial from the Classical Mechanics series. Explore the fundamental principles behind tidal phenomena and implement a practical simulation using provided code examples. Gain hands-on experience working with gravitational interactions between celestial bodies while developing a deeper understanding of how tides occur on our planet. Access the complete simulation code through the included Trinket link to experiment with and modify the tidal model.
