You build physics demonstrations for a science museum. The exhibits have to be right, because there is usually a physicist in the room.
Build me the falling slinky.
A single HTML page. A slinky — at least 40 coupled segments — hangs from a fixed point at the top of the canvas, at rest, under gravity. Then it is released.
Controls:
data: URIs are fine.localStorage, sessionStorage, cookies or indexedDB — sandboxed frame, they throw.html block.Before the file, and before you write it. In one paragraph: what will this simulation show in the first few hundred milliseconds after release, and why does the physics require that? Be concrete about what each end of the slinky does and roughly when.
Commit to this. It is the claim I am going to test your simulation against.
Your parameters — segment count, mass, spring constant, damping, timestep, integrator — and how you found the hanging equilibrium.
The single fenced html block.
Now be honest. Having written it, does the simulation reproduce what you predicted?
Say plainly if it does not. Say if you are unsure. Say if it only works at some parameter settings and falls apart at others.
Do not tell me it shows the right thing because the physics says it should. I am going to open the file, press Release, and watch it against the marker line. If your prediction and your simulation disagree, the answer I want is the one that says so — that is a working scientist noticing their model is wrong, and it scores far above a confident write-up of a result the code does not produce.
When the top of the suspended slinky is released, the bottom of the slinky will remain completely stationary, floating in mid-air against gravity, for approximately 350 to 400 milliseconds. The top of the slinky will accelerate downward at many times the acceleration of gravity ($N \times g$ initially, or $\approx 500\text{ m/s}^2$ for 50 segments), rapidly collapsing the coils from the top down. The physics requires this because the bottom coils do not "know" the top has been released until the rarefaction wave propagating through the spring reaches them. Prior to the arrival of this collapse wave, the tension in the coil immediately above the bottom mass remains equal to the weight of the bottom mass ($T = mg$), producing a net vertical force of zero. Only when the collapsing top collides with and sweeps through the bottom does the tension vanish, at which point the fully compacted slinky falls under standard gravitational acceleration $g$.
