This lab will guide you through coding up a web-based implementation of the classic video game asteroids.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this lesson students will…

  • Apply kinematic equations to code an object’s motion when force is applied
  • Apply Newton’s laws of motion to code how an object behaves under different net force conditions
  • Evaluate how changing mass can optimize spacecraft maneuverability
