    2013-Boscolo-Stellato-Undergraduate study of harmonic and parametric motion of a simple spring-mass system from motion waveforms
    In this paper, we describe a laboratory exercise that caters to beginning students while giving those with more background an opportunity to explore more complex aspects of the motion.

    3-065-UpDown-ModelingScenario
    We model the height of a launched object which is subject to resistance proportional to velocity during its flight. We ask questions about the motion as well, e.g., highest point or apex and terminal velocity.

    2017-Craig_Tracy-Lectures on Differential Equations
    These notes are for a one-quarter course in differential equations. The approach is to tie the study of differential equations to specific applications in physics with an emphasis on oscillatory systems.

    5-015-RunnersSynchronize-ModelingScenario
    In this modeling scenario we practice finding and classifying equilibria of a one-variable differential equation. We do this in the context of a phase model which is often a simpler way of studying oscillatory phenomena.

    We present two exercises in which we ask students to model (1) falling object experiencing terminal velocity and (2) bobbing block of wood in liquid. We model the motion using Newton's Second Law of Motion and Archimedes' Principle.
