Give a stream of consciousness and then the final answer. The bridge's collapse had a lasting effect on science and engineering. In many physics textbooks, the event is presented as an example of elementary forced resonance; the bridge collapsed because normal speed winds produced aeroelastic flutter that matched the bridge's natural frequency. The collapse boosted research into bridge aerodynamics-aeroelastics, which has influenced the designs of all later long-span bridges.\n\nWhat happened to the tacoma narrows bridge physics?

To answer the question, consider the following: The bridge's collapse had a lasting effect on science and engineering. In many physics textbooks, the event is presented as an example of elementary forced resonance; the bridge collapsed because normal speed winds produced aeroelastic flutter that matched the bridge's natural frequency.
So, the final answer is the bridge collapsed because normal speed winds produced aeroelastic flutter that matched the bridge 's natural frequency.
