Khan Academy: Rigid Body System
In this activity students experiment with simulating hair with rigid line segments. They use the controls to change the number of hairs as well as the number and length of segments in each hair. Click and drag to the head to move it.

Khan Academy: Step 4 (2 D Spring Mass System)
This program simulates a particle connected to an anchor by a damped spring in two dimensions. Try changing the initial settings.
Khan Academy
Khan Academy: Step 3 (Damped Spring Mass System)
This program simulates a particle connected to an anchor by a damped spring. Can you make a realistic looking spring? Try changing the value of k and the amount of damping. Press "Restart" each time you change a value. How does the...
Khan Academy
Khan Academy: Step 2 (Spring Mass System)
This program simulates a particle connected to an anchor by a spring. Try changing the value of the k variable. Press "Restart" after changing the value. How does the length of the spring change as k increases? How does the speed of the...
Khan Academy
Khan Academy: Step 1 (Particle Under Gravity)
This program simulates a particle falling due to gravity. Try changing the initial settings. What do you think will happen if you... Increase gravity? Change the mass of the particle? Make the time step negative?
