Slinky drop simulator

This demo simulates dropping a slinky (and you control the length of the slinky)!

Here's a picture of what you'll see:

"Reset" and "Pause/play" do pretty much what you'd expect them to do.

At what point does each atom in the slinky begin to "fall?"

How does the "hang time" for the bottom atom change as you make the slinky longer?

You can also have some fun by clicking and dragging the atoms to stretch and compress the slinky both vertically and horizontally! Also try the "Random atoms" setting! How does the behavior you observe demonstrate the concepts of forces we've discussed in class?
