By Raelifin | Published: October 18, 2009

This weekend, as a side project, I did some modeling of physics concepts I’ve been studying in class. Specifically, conservation of momentum of a system, how the motion of particles can be summed into macroscopic bodies, how forces move through solids in waves, and how quantity of matter (mass) has an impact on acceleration. This [...]
