3-027-BobbingDropping-ModelingScenario
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.

5-040-TunedMassDampers-PartII-ModelingScenario
Studentsbuild mathematical models to mitigate dangerous swaying in structures using structural improvements called Tuned Mass Dampers (TMD). We model the motion of the original structure as a spring-mass-dashpot with stiffness replacing spring...

1-064-TorricelliBox-ModelingScenario
The time it takes a column of water to empty and the time it takes the same volume of column of water with a box (various sizes) submerged in the column of water are compared through modeling with Torricelli's Law.

3-010-EnergyInSpringMassSystem-ModlingScenario
As a way to synthesize the effects of damping and forcing terms, this activity is meant to encourage students to explore how different forcing terms will change the total energy in a mass-spring system.

5-014-TwoSpringMass-ModelingScenario
We ask students to build a Free Body Diagram for a vertical two mass situation in which the two masses are held fixed at the tip and at the bottom. The mass holds the springs together at the join of the two springs in between.

3-040-FirstPassageTime-ModelingScenario
We apply the notions of dampedness to second order, linear, constant coefficient, homogeneous differential equations used to model a spring mass dashpot system and introduce the notion of first passage time through 0 value with several applications.

4-050-ResonanceBeats-ModelingScenario
We study what can happen when a pure oscillator (no damper) is driven by a forced vibration function which has the same or close to the same natural frequency as the system it is driving.

3-001-SpringMassDataAnalysis-ModelingScenario
We offer data on position of a mass at end of spring over time where the spring mass configuration has damping due to taped flat index cards at the bottom of the mass. Modeling of a spring mass configuration and estimation of parameters are the core.

3-110-MilitarySpringMassApplication-ModelingScenario
The is a collection of different scenarios for the shock system of a trailer. In each scenario, students will transform the shock system of a trailer into a second-order differential equation, solve, and interpret the results.
