    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.

    Hello mr Khan, you’re vídeos are amazing and incredibly helpful, the only bad thing I read the Spanish subtitles and at points in the video they stop showing. These videos are too good for me not to tell you this and would be cool from you to find the problem. That doesn’t take away that you’ve helped me and I appreciate it.
    Gracias 😁

    Think as vector quantities. He is moving up at a certain velocity (3m/s) and right at a certain velocity (4m/s). The distance is not 3+4, but the velocity is 3+4 because of the direction. Together, he is moving in the direction of ||a|| at 5m/s. It's hard to explain in text, but try to get your head around that :)

      It happens sometimes when we are doing things in a flow.
      It's simply just that 3,4,5 are Pythagorean triplets, sal has basically put in the exact degree angle necessary to make the sine and cosine ratios come around to give ||a|| sin © = 3 units for perpendicular and ||a|| cos © = 4 units for the base and the specific angle is © = 36.8699°. We all get careless.
      My dad used to purposely write a minor step wrong to check my attentiveness and correct me afterwards after comparing the solution with the book provided back answers and then make me get it corrected.
      Anybody with a scientific calculator or Google search can find the inverse of © = sin'(3/5) so it's not that big a deal, we got the concept rest is just knitpicking, which we should avoid. He's doing humanity a service, we should give him a break. But the visual software seems a whole lot more attractive by his way of using it. Thanks khan academy for the nice differential section.

  • @barryhughes9764
    @barryhughes9764 7 лет назад +2

    Find the explanation of vectors confusing ! If any two vectors in R2 can be added anywhere in the plane then depending on their initial positions they can end up anywhere in the plane, is their final position in the plane irrelevant? If so why? Also I hear vectors described as being parallel and in the same direction......how can this be so? If two vectors are parallel then they cannot be in the same direction......they can have the " same orientation " but not the same direction. Example, if one vector points due North and another vector is parallel to this but offset say 500 miles then it is not in the same direction as the first. I only wish that definitions and illustrations of vectors was more rigorously approached and explained.

    • @bftb1000
      @bftb1000 7 лет назад

      Barry Hughes - It's a weird concept at first, but that's the case-- "direction" is referring only to the direction that the arrow end of the vector is pointing in, and it doesn't take into account its position in the coordinate plane. The direction of the vector is quantified with an angle (the angle the vector makes in relation to the positive x-axis). You can literally put the vectors anywhere on the plane and not change the vector itself, but it's handy to have them touching so you can see how they relate visually and use trig functions to find the component (horizontal and vertical) parts of the vector. So, vectors are a length (magnitude) and a direction (angle). Hope that helps!

    • @barryhughes9764
      @barryhughes9764 7 лет назад +1

      I appreciate the time you have taken to reply to my query. However it doesn't address the points I was making. I'm aware of the dot product , cross product, bi vectors etc. As I have said , and this is the pertinent point, vectors cannot be both parallel and in point in the same direction......they can however have the same "orientation".....so why leave the idea of " direction " open for interpretation? Also, one cannot say that the addition of say, two vectors in R2 or three vectors in R3 is independent of it's position. Surely the " force" or say the " acceleration" at one point would have a different effect on a system depending on " where " or it acts in the space of either of the above dimensions,........and these are the concepts I don't see being explained, specifically. Please, I intend no offence in this reply and am grateful for any clarification.

  • @rymichael7203

    if vector X = Xy+Xx then how the hell does 5=4+3. this is what I don't understand about vectors. how is the resultant equal to the sum when pyth teaches us that c=the square root of a^2+b^2. I can not reconcile the two together. this should be the first thing explained so there is understanding.

    • @noahgorman681
      @noahgorman681 7 лет назад +1

      For adding vectors, the components are not mathematically added to equal the resultant. It's merely conceptual.
