    ... and after all these years... a few days ago, Jocelyn Bell finally *was* awarded the Nobel prize she's deserved all this time. As I understand it, she intends to donate the entire cash-award part of her prize. I know nothing of her financial circumstances, but even most well-off people would be unlikely to be so magnanimous with "windfall" wealth.
    You do know her, so please offer her a *whacking* high-five from me, won't you? :-)

      What amazes me is that (as you and others have described her) she's humble, gracious and generous enough to let all that slide *and* offer up her huge cash prize to support others.

      Spin angular momentum of the Earth is an intrinsic property it's omega*I. Orbital angular momentum of the Earth is ONLY conserved relative to the Sun, NOT relative to any other point. If you choose a point somewhere on the orbit, when the Earth is at that point the orbital angular momentum relative to that point is ZERO.

    Hello Prof Lewin, if there is a mouse on the edge of a rotating disk and we know the moment of inertia of the disk about the centre of mass, then we can find the total moment of inertia which includes the moment of inertia of the mouse measured with respect to the CM of disk. Lets say this disk is moving with constant w. Then the mouse moves towards the center of mass of the disk. Then we can use conservation of Angular momentum to get the new angular velocity. But which moment of inertia do we use for when the mouse is in the centre of mass of the disk. Is it just the moment of inertia about the CM of the disk without the mouse on it, or has the mass of the mouse affected the moment of inertia of the disk about the centre of mass? Thank you!

    • @carultch
      @carultch 3 года назад

      If its rotational inertia remains unchanged (individual rigid body), it requires a net torque to act upon it, in order to have an angular acceleration. An object can have angular acceleration without torque, while changing its rotational inertia.
      Unlike linear inertia (i.e. mass), that requires changing the identity of the body to change its mass (like a rocket loosing its propellant mass, or farm equipment collecting a harvest), rotational inertia can change just by redistributing the mass. As you can see with the turntable demonstration in this lecture.

    Namaste Sir, (Indian greetings) Please help me!!
    A thin rod AB of mass M and length L is rotating with angular speed w about vertical axis passing through its end B on a horizontal smooth table. If at some instant the hinge at end B of rod is opened then, can you please explain why the angular momentum of the rod remains conserved about the center of mass of the rod during the whole process?
    And I have another one sir
    A cylinder of height h , diameter h/2 and mass M and with a homogeneous mass distribution is placed on a horizontal table. One end of a string running over a pulley is fastened to the top of the cylinder, a body of mass m is hung from the other end and the system is released. Friction is negligible everywhere. Strings and pulleys can be assumed to be light. At what minimum ratio of m/M will the cylinder lift?

    hello Sir,as u mentioned a body(scale in this case) when hit at some point other than CM will rotate about CM.So when a body is hinged then it'll rotate about hinged point.My confusion is related to center of percussion(COP).Is it really that at different impact points with respect to (COP) body will try to rotate either clockwise(CW) or anti clock(ACW)?The force on hinge will be either right or left according to supposed CW or ACW rotation?

    Hello Dr. Lewin I absolutely love your lectures they are much more fun than most physics lectures (I don't believe they have your passion). I am doing a research paper on Cold Fusion (not for physics) and was just wondering if you could give me your opinion on whether it is possible or not. Thank you for all you do!

      +Jack Jackson DO NOT waste your time. Cold Fusion is a myth it is NOT possible. This is NOT even a maybe it's absolutely not ossible. The Pons a Fleischmann publications are nonsense. Their results could never be confirmed not even by P and F themselves. www.google.com/#safe=active&q=pons+and+fleischmann

    Please, Sir! Don`t answer if it´s too complicated for you to explain it ,ok? Why don´t earth (in the orbital moviment ) looses energy ( as an electron would do in its hipotetical orbital movement around the nucleus) and go into an spiral moviment towards the final colision with the sun? Sorry about my English! You are our hero!!!!!

    • @lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259
      @lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259  7 лет назад +3

      Yes you got it. In classical physics accelerated charges produce EM waves. That's the result of Maxwell's eqs. However, in Newtonian mechanics masses that are accelerated do not radiate any energy. HOWVER, in GR (Einstein) accelerated masses do radiate energy; in the form of gravitational waves (GW). The acceleration of the Earth in orbit (v^2/R) is so low that it cannot even be measured. However, two black holes in a close binary system radiate a large amount of energy (GW). Thus the orbits shrink and ultimately they wil merge, the black holes will spiral into each other producing a HUGE "last Surge of GW. This was first observed on Sept 14, 2015 with LIGO. LIGO was perceived 40 years ago by my friend Rai Weiss (former colleague of mine at MIT). I predict that he will share the Nobel Prize of Physics this year for that fabulous result. GW were predicted 100 years by Einstein.

    I like watching these video. I would like to see an explanation about how gas can collapse on itself since gravity is small force compared to electromagnetic force . There must be something more than F=GmM/r2.

    My notes : 1.Momentum Intrinsic ,angular momentum is not,it depends on point about which it is calculated .2. Angular momentum about C,representing Centre of circle,is constant,.while momentum is changing,in uniform circular motion . 3.V at every point of disk is different but angular velocity is not. 4.Angular momentum is always constant about any point in space for rotation about center of mass,spin angular momentum is thus intrinsic and unique ,e.g earth rotation about axis. You could then talk about THE Angular momentum.

    At 34:00 you calculated change in gravitational potential energy. But as much I know gravitational potential energy is due to gravitational pull between two objects. so with which object this gravitional pull to the star is being considered?

    sir can you please tell me how you are finding out direction of angular momentum. I thought we must go from the first vector towards the second vector and see in which direction would a screw move if we rotated it in the direction in which we go (first vector to second vector). But everytime you seem to give an opposite direction

    Sir , I have confused about angular momentum is not beeing intrinsic property while momentum is an intrinsic property. As the angular momentum depends on the point we chose, aren`t the momentum also depends on frame of reference. It seems to me both of them are not intrinsic property.
