Python Physics: Modeling an Exploding Spring in Different Reference Frames

Dot Physics via YouTube

Overview

Learn to create a physics animation in Python that demonstrates the concept of kinetic energy in different reference frames through a practical model of two balls being pushed apart by a spring. Explore the relationship between velocity and kinetic energy while building an interactive simulation using GlowScript. Follow along with provided code examples and gain deeper insights into the relativity of kinetic energy through accompanying explanatory materials, including a detailed Medium article that further explores this fascinating physics concept.
