Suppose you have a cylinder on an ramp and you let it start rolling down. What will be its acceleration? Great question, right? I like this because it brings in many different concepts in introductory ...

A joint research team from Carnegie Mellon University, NVIDIA, and Adobe has published a paper on how to predict the orientation in which a rigid object that does not deform when rolled, such as a ...

This video demonstrates how to model rigid objects using springs in a Python physics simulation. We explore how spring forces approximate rigidity, analyze motion and stability, and visualize the ...
