    A small suggestion: It will be more useful if you explain a concept/ theory and do a problem related to that concept which makes us even more understanding.👍🏻

    I watched many different lectures, all of them said the same thing that to take opposite directions as positive in pulley cases like you explained in this video. But I had difficulty in understanding what happens if we dont. Is it wrong to do that or just inconvenient, meaning if i take upwards as positive for both the masses, how to then solve the problem

    • @smithjomiddlesexedu
      @smithjomiddlesexedu  Месяц назад

      The reason you can’t treat up as positive for both of them is that then the acceleration for the two objects would not be the same. Since they are moving together, it’s important to set it up so that either both are moving in the positive direction or both are moving in the negative direction so that they have the same acceleration.

    • @smithjomiddlesexedu
      @smithjomiddlesexedu  2 месяца назад

      It's ok to have vector signs on the vectors when drawing the free body diagram. However, once we are plugging into Fnetx=max and Fnety=may there should not be vector signs since we are dealing with the components of the vectors.

    19:43 how do people even get b? The net force is 0, so mg=T, same mass and mass=1. I'm curious how some got that wrong.

    • @smithjomiddlesexedu
      @smithjomiddlesexedu  4 месяца назад

      They incorrectly think of the two masses, pulling down on the rope as opposed to realizing that the rope is simply transmitting the force from one mass to the other. That’s why you always have to draw the free body diagram for a particular object and really pay attention to the forces acting just on that object.

    • @smithjomiddlesexedu
      @smithjomiddlesexedu  2 месяца назад

      Watch through the video the first time to get the basic ideas. Make sure that you’ve watched the videos on Newton laws before the current one to get the background you need. Then go through the video a second time pausing it each time I’m about to solve a problem. Make yourself try to work out the solution. If you get stuck, then watch the video just up to the point where you got stuck, then pause the video again and keep going. Learning physics is like learning a sport. You have to actually practice the process of doing it. You can imagine if I told you all about how to play a sport like golf but you never actually got out there and swung the club that you wouldn’t be able to do it. So that’s the key.

    hey man ur explantion is great and all but at 33:27 u didnt mention that the car exerted a force on the brick wall which caused the wall to give it a force if u didnt mention this then that meant the car would just accelerate after it crashed in the direction that the wall hit it too

    • @smithjomiddlesexedu
      @smithjomiddlesexedu  2 месяца назад

      You are correct that if the brick wall exerts a force on the car, the car exerts an equal and opposite force on the wall (Newton's 3rd Law). However, when we are looking at the motion of the car, we only care about the forces acting ON the car. For example, the car is also pulling up on the earth through gravity (reaction to Earth's gravity pulling down) and pushing down on the surface of the Earth (reaction to Normal Force). If we were looking at the brick wall, then we would care about the force the car is exerting on it.

    For example of the box being pulled it literally shows the box being pulled in a diagonal direction, how is may 0????

    • @smithjomiddlesexedu
      @smithjomiddlesexedu  2 месяца назад

      The box is not moving at all in the y direction, so it’s definitely not accelerating in the y direction. That’s how we know that may =0. In other words, all of the forces in the y direction have to add to exactly 0. You’ll notice that’s how we then are able to solve for the normal force. Since the applied force is partly in the upward direction, notice that the normal force is less than mg.
      The key point here is that if an object is moving only in the x direction then you know the acceleration in the y direction has to be equal to zero

    if thats free fall wont your weghtlessness be caused by you reaching terminal velocity

    • @smithjomiddlesexedu
      @smithjomiddlesexedu  17 дней назад

      Terminal velocity is responsible for weightlessness. Since everything is falling inside the elevator including the air, air resistance is not a factor, so there wouldn't be a terminal velocity. Let me give a quick explanation of terminal velocity. When an object falls with air resistance there are now two forces acting - gravity down and air resistance up. Air resistance increases as the speed of the object increases until it is equal in magnitude to the force of gravity. Once this occurs, the net force on the object is zero, so it will no longer accelerate - it will now fall with a constant velocity (the "terminal" velocity which is the highest velocity it reaches). In general objects that have low density (think - feather) will reach terminal velocity very quickly. Dense objects (think bowling ball) will take much longer to reach terminal velocity. If we are dropping a dense object just a few meters, we can ignore air resistance and assume the object will fall with a constant acceleration of -9.8 m/s^2

    • @OtamaRecaps
      @OtamaRecaps 17 дней назад

      @ oh ok I get that but please why would it fall with a constant acceleration of -9.8 since gravity isn’t acting opposite to how it normally does (sorry for the continuous questions )

    • @smithjomiddlesexedu
      @smithjomiddlesexedu  16 дней назад

      @@OtamaRecaps The acceleration due to gravity is always a=-g where g=9.8m/s^2. g is the magnitude of the acceleration. We say a=-g=-9.8 m/s^2 since the velocity is increasing in the downward (or negative) direction.

    Am not sure about acceleration on the second example

    • @smithjomiddlesexedu
      @smithjomiddlesexedu  11 месяцев назад +1

      The blocks will move together, so they will have the same acceleration. Another way to think about it is to picture the two blocks together as one big mass of 30 kg. So the acceleration of both blocks together is equal to the applied force divided by the combined mass. This is what my solution shows.

    • @smithjomiddlesexedu
      @smithjomiddlesexedu  2 месяца назад

      If the angle weren't given, then there would not be enough information to solve the problem. However, I could have given you the acceleration and then asked you to find the angle. The analysis would be the same, but you would plug in acceleration to solve for theta. That's really the key - no matter what you are given, the analysis works the same way, then just solve for the variable you need based on the variables given.

    • @Abdimalik_Educate
      @Abdimalik_Educate Год назад +4

      cause at the y direction the acceleration is zero there is no acceleration there, that is why we did not use the Fn because Fn is in y direction

    18:46 i though tension will be zero as from both sides 9.8 on the same rope but if we image the tension going upwards they will cancel each other out, can you clear my this doubt please

    • @smithjomiddlesexedu
      @smithjomiddlesexedu  9 месяцев назад

      Start by looking at just one mass. Since the mass is at rest (not accelerating) the net force on it must be zero from Newton's 2nd Law. Therefore the magnitude of the tension must be equal to the weight of the mass (mg). Think of the tension in the rope as the way the two masses communicate their presence with each other. So each mass is pulling up on the other mass with its weight.

      Yes, the sign represents the direction. So, for example, the magnitude of the force of Friction is Fk. If it is directed to the left, when we put it in Newton’s second law we would write -Fk.
