    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.

      How do you k ow that torque force is transmitted equally across the whole bar...specifically why do you multiply that force by the total distance 10...you don't justify that step..How do you kbow the force doesn't weaken as distance from the point the force is applied increases..this is a valid and intelligent argument..

    • @Waeweas
      @Waeweas 11 месяцев назад

      @@leif1075 Well, it's baked into the formula. You can see that torque is proportional to distance. If you want proof for that formula then you'd need to run an experiment using a torque device with different moment arm lengths. There are tons of youtube videos showing this. If you want a written explanation for the reason the experiments verify the formula I can give you that as well:
      If you are rotating a body (applying a torque) you are doing work to rotate it over an angle. The same amount of work will be needed to cover that angle no matter what. At a greater distance from the axis the arc is larger, there is more distance to cover the same angle. So if the work required is the same but it is applied over a greater distance, you will need less force. The moment arm affects the force in a torque because a larger moment arm, radius, or perpendicular distance means more distance to cover the same angle of rotation.

    @khanacademy If you really want to get semantical, distance is a scalar and displacement is a vector. The distance between two points can change depending on the path one takes, whereas the displacement is unchanging.
    Distance is to displacement as speed is to velocity:
    Speed = distance / time
    Velocity = displacement / time
    At least that's the way I learned it...

    Yes, but if you noticed he states that work is fundamentally different than torque because for an object to do work the force must be parallel to the displacement. Whereas with torque, the force is perpendicular to the lever (moment) arm.

    You don't need to worry about clockwise and counter clockwise being positive or negative. The first force is being applied at a 90 degree angle, and the second force is being applied at a 270 degree angle, and since T=Frsinθ, we can see that the 90 degree force is positive (sin90=1) and the 270 degree force is negative (sin270=-1).

    Watched this to try to get a better understanding of how planes work in KSP, now I'm even more confused... The equation for torque shows that force increases from the distance from CoM, yet in KSP having your center of air pressure closer to the CoM, which should result in less force, somehow makes the planes rotate FASTER than if you had that same amount of air pressure force further from the CoM. Only way I can figure this out is if it's all counter-intuitive, that the forces ARE greater the more distance from the CoM, but that when rotating planes/rockets, what matters more for rotational speed is the distance of said force from the CoM
