    I got a question. What if I don't have a height, instead I have a length. Like in the case of a pendulum striking a wooden block. Do I measure the distance between the wooden block and the launching or the pendulum or do I measure how high the pendulum goes? Thanks

    • @FlippingPhysics
      @FlippingPhysics  9 лет назад

      +Brookie The gravitational potential energy of the pendulum depends on the "vertical height above the horizontal zero line". In other words, with regards to the gravitational potential energy of the pendulum, the displacement of the pendulum in the x-direction is irrelevant, only the displacement of the pendulum in the y-direciton matters. Both of these in-class lecture videos of mine might be helpful. ruclips.net/video/hdPMyvGQT3M/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/fVrONyuVEkI/видео.html

  • @biledionez9014
    @biledionez9014 7 лет назад +1

    From the idea that energy can not be created or destroyed and only transferred:
    If i am applying work at an object causing it to accelerate forward, it gains kinetic energy while its potential energy stays the same, that means i am transferring energy to it, right? If so, what kind of energy was this inside my body before being transferred and becoming the kinetic energy on the object?

    I have one question Mr P , if in the pendulum example the energy is conserved shouldn't the pendulum swings infinity ?

    • @FlippingPhysics
      @FlippingPhysics  4 года назад

      Yes. In the absence of friction, the pendulum will swing with the same amplitude forever.

    Since there is air resistence should not the mechanical energy decreases as it falls down? Can we view it as a friction?

    • @FlippingPhysics
      @FlippingPhysics  8 лет назад

      +Andre Silva Generally we assume air resistance is negligible, which it certainly is in this example. In this case what I mean by "negligible" is that, yes, a very small amount of mechanical energy is converted to heat via friction with the air as the ball falls, however, it is such a small amount that it doesn't effect the problem at all. For more on this, see www.flippingphysics.com/the-euler-method.html where I go through and calculate the effects of the force of drag on an object in projectile motion.

  • @learningisecstatic9348
    @learningisecstatic9348 5 лет назад

    Sir you have said that mechanical energy is conserved when there is no force applied. But the two relavent examples you have demonstrated force of gravity is being constantly applied. Please help sir.

    • @FlippingPhysics
      @FlippingPhysics  5 лет назад +1

      1) Mechanical energy is conserved when there is no work done by a force applied and no work done by a force of friction.
      2) The force of gravity is not a force applied.
