Classical Mechanics Final Project - Gordon Novak

This project is primarily intended to model in VPython the affect of mass, power, tailwinds, and other physical factors on the time it takes to Everest (climbing the elevation of Mt. Everest in a single ride by going up and down a hill repeatedly). The write-up for this project can be found in this repository, or at the Google Drive listed above.

Please note that I will continue working on this project beyond the initial planned timeline, because I find the topic fascinating and my efforts worthwhile.

The video presentation of this work can be found at this YouTube link, and the accompanying Google Slideshow can be found at this Slides link.
