    1.Lets prove a = v^2/r if v = (2 x pi x r)/T
    2.v= (2 x pi x r)/T
    3.using chain rule
    4.dv/dr x dr/dt = dv/dt = a
    5.therefore dv/dr x v = a
    6.dv /dr = (2 x pi) / T
    7.dv/dr x v = ((2 x pi)/T) x ((2x pi x r)/T)
    8.dv/dr x v = (4 x pi^2 x r)/T^2
    9.dv/dr x v = (((2 x pi x r) / T)^2 )/r
    10.we know that v = (2 x pi x r) / T
    11.therefore
    12dv /dr x v = v^2 / r
    13.hence
    14.a = v^2/r

      "4.dv/dr x dr/dt = dv/dt = a
      5.therefore dv/dr x v = a"
      I can't see the leap of logic u made from 4 to 5. When u say "dv/dr x v", r u saying that v is dr/dt? I that it v was dc/dt (where c is circumference).

    • @perpetualpolymath5961
      @perpetualpolymath5961 8 лет назад

      Sideeq Mohammad Simple chain rule is at work here.
      dv/dr x dr/dt =dv/dt , think of it like the dr's cancelling but the actual proof for chain rule is quiet long.
      we know dr/dt is basically the rate of change in distance and we all know that is velocity.dr can be exchanged for dx here thus dr/dt = v
      hence dv/dr x v = dv/dt = a.

    • @saeedbaig4249
      @saeedbaig4249 8 лет назад +1

      Mo Killem Ok Im familiar with chain rule now but, as an aside, shouldn't dr/dt=0? After all, dr/dt is the rate of change of the RADIUS with respect to time. But the length of the radius NEVER changes in uniform circular motion.

    • @perpetualpolymath5961
      @perpetualpolymath5961 8 лет назад

      Sideeq Mohammad It doesnt change in magnitude however it changes in direction and hence it does have a rate of change.After all displacement is a vector.

    Uniform circular motion is fun. Rotational dynamics, though...I could never get my head around that. I understood relativity perfectly fine, but as soon as we started discussing torque, I was so lost. It didn't help that I had a professor whose answer to "where did that equation come from" was just to write more equations on the board with little to no added explanation...

      Yeah, I get annoyed when I try and explain physics to people and they refuse to use fictitious forces. Because "their not real"
      Actually, you can think of fictitious forces as forces experienced due to being confined to a surface during motion. Because that is an entire field of math in its own, simply using forces produced relative to the object on the confining surface is stupidly efficient and true to what you actually experience.

    • @mjsaedy6637
      @mjsaedy6637 6 лет назад +3

      Not true, the action/reaction pair do *not* affect the same object: the centripetal force applied to the object is the tension force from the string, the object exerts a reaction force *on the string* , this reaction force has no interest to us since we are studying the rotating object not the string.
      To realize why the Centrifugal force is not real, just examine what happens when we cut the string: there is no more Centripetal force so the object moves along a straight line that is a tangent to the circle (in the direction of the Velocity at the moment the string was cut).
      If there where an actual Centrifugal force, the object should have moved in a straight radial line *perpendicular to the tangent* , which is not what happens in real life.

    • @onglinwei2418
      @onglinwei2418 6 лет назад

      Centripetal force is actually a resultant force so there's no centrifugal

    • @franksmith9027
      @franksmith9027 6 лет назад

      @@mjsaedy6637 You say:"Not true, the action/reaction pair do not affect the same object:" Of course they don't, if they did they would cancel each other out. When you swing a ball on a string your hand exert a centripetal force on the ball which reacts by exerting a centrifugal force on your hand and it is obvious these forces pass through the string. You thus have an action/reaction force pair that obeys Newton's Third Law.

    A spaceman in training is rotated in a seat at the end of the horizontal arm of length 5 metre. If he can withstand accelerations upto 9 g, then what is the maximum number of revolutions per second permissible? (Take g = 10 ms^-2)
    (A) 15.5 rev/s
    (B) 1.35 rev/s
    (C) 0.675 rev/s
    (D) 6.75 rev/s

    She really has a clear way of explanation compared to a lecture but i feel that is from the fact that she has the time and the ability to use accurate graphics, though I also think that is why she could go at such a quick pace, though that also makes me want to see more calculus in the show, you know introduce the basic parts then get more technical and mathematical. Though maybe I am asking for too much. although I am using although and though to much.

    It's important to remember that the centripetal force is really not a force in and of itself either. It's the NET force once you consider the vector sum of all the forces acting on an object moving uniformly along a circular path. Remember that, in Newtonian dynamics, it's the net force that causes an object to accelerate. Since the acceleration is centripetal, it would follow that this acceleration is directly associated with the centripetally acting NET force. Y'know?

    Centrifugal force is true, sometimes. For example, on one of the big swings in fairs. it moves you around in a circle, and you get pushed out.

  • @spencerwadsworth913
    @spencerwadsworth913 8 лет назад

    'Centrifugal force' actually does exist. It is called fictitious because the rotating reference frame is not inertial. However the tendency of objects in a rotating reference frame to accelerate radially outwards , which is what we are calling 'centrifugal force' is very real. It isn't technically a 'force', because 'radially outwards' is not a valid vector direction in a rotating reference frame, but the phenomenon still exists, and from the rotating reference frame, it behaves exactly as a force does.

    @WhoCaresAboutAlex 8 лет назад

    i feel like just saying "ignore centrifugal force, it's not real" isn't particularly helpful because ,as you say, we still feel it. Actually describing why we feel it might be more useful in explaining why it's not real and that it's just your intertia and all that jazz!

    I can't help but feel that Physics isn't best suited for a video format like this. If I didn't know about circular motion already I'd find it pretty difficult to keep up. That being said, this video does very well!

    • @adammehdi9205

      +Tim James I didn't know how circular motion worked, but this video explained it quite clearly.

    • @randomdogdog
      @randomdogdog 8 лет назад

      +Tim James you didn't have your teacher go "trust me, velocity is tangential, net force is inwards, and the only equation that makes any sense(this was before the class knew calculus) is v=x/t"?
      i think that they're finally finding their feet with this format, although i would like to see a demonstration, and all that maths in the beginning was enough to confuse everyone, and you need to watch ALL the videos, as this one covered frames of reference...

    Small tip.
    The editing is too fast. You are not giving the viewers any time to take in what they just heard before going into the next sentence or point. Leave a small breather. Just a second may be enough. Don't rush things, especially with scientific subjects like this one.

    • @j26walker
      @j26walker 8 лет назад +8

      It's called crash course for a reason.

    • @TakaG
      @TakaG 8 лет назад +5

      j26walker The things I have listed have little to do with actual crash courses and more with video editing.
      Many videos, especially on youtube, are edited poorly and way to quickly with awkward pace shifts.
      Giving small breathers helps the viewers digest what they just saw and heard. And keeping a proper pace and changing it at the right moments also helps with conveying information and mood.
      This applies not only to educational videos, but movies and everything else as well.
      An appropriate rhythm is important. That's the difference between the Transformers bad edits and the Avengers great ones. ;)
      That said, Crash Course usually does a very decent editing job. This video was way too quick paced though.

    I have a tricky question i was never able to answer:
    assuming
    1) if you have more and less massive objects affected by centrifugal force, the more massive will tend to spread in the outer part and the less massive will tend to stay to the center
    2) if u put rice in a pot it'll go down because is heavier (that's how it is)
    why the heck if you stir in a pot with rice in it stays in the middle?
    isn't it actually centrifugal force? does it depend on the resistence of the water? is rice magic?

    • @DocSchuster
      @DocSchuster 8 лет назад +1

      +colox97 Whoa. Cool problem. How fast are you stirring? The rice is under the water but clumping in the center?!? Can you upload a video?

    • @randomdogdog
      @randomdogdog 8 лет назад

      +colox97
      2 quick layman's ideas
      1. assume that the rice is a liquid layer underneath the water with identical properties.
      as the rice is underneath the water, first thing we need to do is remove / reduce the amount of water above the rice, and that requires a lot of motion.
      2. the time for 1 revolution in the pot is constant, radius increases as we move outward from the center, let c=pi*r*r, T be the period.
      v=c/T
      consider the rice grain in the center, r=0, v=0.
      the rice grain in the center does not move, similar for other grains in the middle, but this approach does assume constant motion in a straight line...
      also, i wanna get the update when the video gets posted, so i can try a serious solution :)

    • @ianbaker21
      @ianbaker21 8 лет назад

      +colox97 I am thinking it has to do with the fact that the rice itself is not a fluid. The rice will slow down the water when you stop stirring and vice versa, since the water is already moving slower in the center the rice will find the most balance in the center.
      I realize the theory isn't perfect and I am starting to find some holes in it.
      One experiment you could do is to use two fluids (e.g. Oil and water.) Or use fluids with different temperatures since the water will heat up faster then the rice.
      Good luck looking for an answer.
