+ | |||
+ | While you have continued to impress Carver, he remains unsure about the size of the force acting on the satellite and its distance from Earth. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The syntax you need to work with in order to include a graph involves two lines of code(mass of Earth vs time is given as an example). | ||
+ | |||
+ | Outside the while loop, add: graphExample = PhysGraph(numPlots=1) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Inside the while loop, add: graphExample.plot(t, | ||
+ | |||
