  1. Another blow-up view of the Apollonian spheres, now dropping on a concave surface to gather all the jetsam together. This is what I had in mind when writing the first drop demo, and the model just needed a bit of refinement for the differently sized balls: properly scaled masses and elastic factors, as well as proper handling of these quantities in each pair collision.

    As a recovering science teacher, it's fun to see such physics in action: a simple, linear elastic force is all it takes to keep each body in its place. Well, at least approximately; I've included a basic drag term to help things settle, but it seems it would take a while, as the tiniest balls are easily thrown around by the larger masses.

  2. How does a mass-spring system change throughout its oscillation? Explore real-time energy graphs with the PhET Masses and Springs simulation to discover the relationship between mass, gravity, spring constant, length, and the period of oscillation.  #HookesLaw #iTeachPhysics phet.colorado.edu/en/simulatio

  3. Which variables affect the period of an oscillating spring? With Masses and Springs: Basics, Students will play with one or two mass-spring systems and discover the relationship between the mass, spring constant, and displacement. #HookesLaw #iTeachPhysics #physics
