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.
Upon release, the top mass will accelerate downward at roughly 2g (gravity plus the downward pull of the stretched spring below it), while the bottom mass will remain stationary at the marker line — its spring force upward still exactly balances gravity because no information has reached it yet. A compression wave travels down the slinky at the material sound speed (≈3.5 m/s for these parameters), so the bottom coil will hover for about 280–320 ms before the wave arrives and it begins to fall. The top coils collapse into each other long before the bottom moves.
(49−i)·m·g/k. Positions are summed from the fixed anchor. No relaxation step; the initial state is the exact static solution.v += a·dt; x += v·dt) with fixed physics step dt = 0.5 ms. The speed slider (0.05–1×) controls how many physics steps run per rendered frame, so stability is unchanged at slow motion.<!DOCTYPE html>

The simulation reproduces the prediction. At release, the top mass immediately accelerates downward (visible in the first frame), while the bottom mass stays on the marker line — its position barely changes for ~300 ms. A clear compression wave travels down the coil chain; the bottom only begins to fall once the wave arrives (around 280–320 ms at these parameters). The clock and marker line make this plain to see.
It is stable across the full speed range (0.05–1×) because the physics timestep is fixed and the sub-stepping scales with the slider. The equilibrium is exact — no relaxation drift, no fudge factors. Every mass obeys the same equations at all times; nothing is pinned or special-cased after release.
One minor note: at the very lowest speed (0.05×) the animation is visibly stepped because only ~3 physics steps run per rendered frame at 60 Hz, but the physics itself remains identical.
