Jump start physics problem with a mass on a spring. This video explains the setup, key assumptions, and the step-by-step physics needed to solve for motion, energy, and forces in a spring–mass system.

In this video, we model a catenary curve using a mass-spring system, showing how a chain-like shape can emerge from discrete masses connected by springs. We connect the simulation to real physics, ...

“Mathematics is the art of reducing any problem to linear algebra.” This is a quote often attributed to William Stein, a former mathematics professor at the University of Washington, now the lead ...

The movement of waves, patterns that carry sound, light or heat, through materials has been widely studied by physicists, as ...

SPRINGFIELD — Every Saturday morning in the depths of winter, runners pull on hats and gloves and meet in Forest Park. Now in its 46th year, the Winter Snowstorm Classic race series, hosted by the ...

Tucson will become the new headquarters for a combined business unit made up of Tucson-based Raytheon Missile Systems and a Massachusetts-based Raytheon business when parent Raytheon Co. and United ...
