What is the mathematical justification for the quadratic approximation to the energy of a spring in a one-dimensional lattice?
It follows easily from this draw, the length $l$ of this spring as a function of the vertical distance $x$, as $l(x)=\sqrt{1+x^{2}}$
Now, $l$ can be expressed as a MacLaurin expansion:
$$l(x) = ...

Nonuniform acceleration due to rubber rope
What I want:
I've got a rubber rope which is 5m in length when not stressed and is able to stretch about 100% so its then 10m long. I want to accelerate a constant mass horizontally, which has ...

Slinky base does not immediately fall due to gravity
Why does the base of this slinky not fall immediately to gravity. My guess is tension in the springs is a force > mass*gravity but even then it is dumbfounding.
