Here is my solution to the @veritasium falling ladder problem (here's the video - [ Ссылка ]).
The demo shows two falling ladders. One hits a table and one doesn't. Which one falls the fastest (greatest acceleration)? The answer is the one that hits the table. Here's why.
Bonus. Here's a python model of a bouncing stick. I'm going to use this to build a full falling ladder model.
