    Physics on Khan Academy: Physics is the study of the basic principles that govern the physical world around us. We'll start by looking at motion itself. Then, we'll learn about forces, momentum, energy, and other concepts in lots of different physical situations. To get the most out of physics, you'll need a solid understanding of algebra and a basic understanding of trigonometry.
    About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

      @AndyU96 8 лет назад +5

      +Zachary Boeder Cosine starts from 1 at 0 degrees, and it decreases from 1 to 0 until it reaches 90 degrees starting from 0 degrees. If one already has the 3 values of cos30, cos45, and cos60 in his memory, then he should be able to know that the smallest of those 3 values belongs to the highest degree of the 3 degrees, and that the biggest value belongs to the smallest degree. To decide whether a mistake is a small or a big one, you should take into consideration the cause of the mistake. Hopefully that makes sense.

    Sal great video! Just two small corrections. cos(60) = 0.5, also the block won't slide horizontally, it will actually get lifted up in the air, because 100sin(60) > 10. Thanks for the video though!

    I'm with natlustifus, now that I understand this, this is easily the coolest thing I've discovered all weekend. I've always been trouble with the intuition behind sin, cos, and tan, and I thought I wouldn't be able to learn this because it dealt with cos. But it's all picture clear now. I'm learning to learn this and the cross product to understand how they apply to curl in a vector field.

  • @vinnv226
    @vinnv226 10 лет назад

    There are two little problems with your example of the block on the ice. If the block weights 10N, and you pull on it with 100N at an angle of 60 degrees to the horizontal, the vertical component of that force is 100sin(60) or about 87N. So you're pulling up 87N on a box that is only held down by gravity by its weight of 10N, so the box would be quickly lifted off the ground and its displacement won't be horizontal.
    Also, as many others have already pointed out, the cosine of 60 degrees is one half, so the horizontal component of the force is 50N and the work is 500J
