These videos you have been uploading are really helpful especially for the majority of kids who don't have good physics teachers because it is a very hard subject to teach. Thank you!!
Oh my gosh! It's like you are a mind reader when it comes to the topics you choose! I so needed this in my life right now!! Thank YOU! And woohoo - 1,000 + Subs - congratulations! Glad to be learning here!
HOLY SHIT you are actually an amazing teacher and explainer. I'm sure you helped ease the lives of thousands of students just by posting your last minute cram videos. Thank you so much for what you have done, I actually love you.
Thanks a lot mate. I am 15, and I am studying for AP Physics. I came across your video regarding Open and Close system and it helped me a lot. Keep up the good job mate.
Thank you so much for the extra help and all these videos. My friends and I had a discord server of 30+ people and your videos were the best source we used for review and to actually understand physics --- You really helped us out today; we felt a lot more confident because of you -- Thank you!!!
I would just like to thank you for all that you have done to teach physics in the past few weeks. I think because of you, I understood every concept on the AP test and was able to answer it to the best of my ability. From the bottom of my heart, I would like to again thank you for what you have done in the last few weeks. When I take Physics C next year, I hope you can still produce content for that class. Please continue to do what you do best. Take care.
Thank you for sticking with me after the exam.. although you may never need physics again, staying subbed tells RUclips it was good stuff and other can benefit! Take the SAT 2! You'll get an 800 if you come with me!
I would like to say I just took the AP exam, and this video helped more than anything, even doing practice problems. Thank you so much man! I feel like I actually did well for once.
great vid! Glad you have reach 1k:) I been a real one, stuck with you since you barely had 300 lol. Keep up the good work and these will be great help on thursday! Cheers man
Hey man I've been watching your videos all night and a lot of stuff clicked that I haven't understood for a while. You have a great way of explaining things and I hope your channel keeps growing because I would love to see you as a big teacher on youtube Keep up the good work!!
Can you link that document that explains the difference between the open and closed systems? It seems super helpful. Thanks for the clarification video, too; it was super helpful!
Hey quick question at 4:10 in the block system Only, with the outside force of gravity acting on it, wouldn’t mechanical energy decrease since kinetic energy is decreasing? (Fg in negative direction?)
To explain our reasoning, should we mention the types of energy that each system experiences? Eg. KE for System 1, EPE and KE for system 2, and KE and GPE for system 3. (btw congrats for 1k! only discovered the channel yesterday but ever since then I've been watching nonstop)
Yes. I think there are gonna be many different questions given. I don’t think everyone is getting the same one. But I’ll post solutions to anything I get
Hi! Your videos are so helpful! Thank you so much! Are you still planning to conduct your live session today, May 13, at 8:00 EST? I was eagerly waiting for it :)
Great video, I know you have done alot of videos on harmonic motion and was wondering if you know any great study materials for SHO, and rotational motion in general? units 6 & 7 were a little odd to learn online:)
This was really helpful! But what about the force of the ceiling on the spring? I get that it does no work, but isn’t it still an outside force? Also, what if you had two outside forces that completely balanced each other- is the system still open?
its not "outside forces" its "outside NET forces". The forces acting outside the systems are equal then Fnet would be 0 and the system would still be closed
Just wanted to stop in and say thanks again for all of the help you’ve provided to many kids including myself since this exam format change. You helped me understand many concepts and go in to the test with confidence. Now that it is done, I saw that you are willing to go over the correct solutions to the FRQs. Do you know when college board will release these? Also- how much time after the prompts are released do you think the video will take to be out?
Considering the fact that change in ME is determine by the relationship between the direction of the force, and of the motion; what if someone was ask to describe the change in ME on a block-earth system that is on a spring, and has an applied force pushing downwards, but is moving upwards, how would someone determine the change in ME, if there are multiple forces acting on opposite directions? Since it is moving upwards, do you prioritize the upwards direction of the spring causing the ME to increase, or the applied force which results in the ME decreasing?
All that matters is what work the non-conservative forces are doing, in terms of identifying what happens to the total mechanical energy. If the net non-conservative work is positive, the total ME increases. If the net non-conservative work is negative, the total ME decreases. Usually, it is human forces that are the forces that do positive non-conservative work, while forces like kinetic friction and air drag do negative non-conservative work. Human forces can do negative work as well. Gravity, spring forces, electrostatics, and forces of constraint are all conservative forces. Anything with a potential energy associated with it, will be a conservative force. And work done by it, will be captured in the change in potential energy, which is within the domain of total mechanical energy.
Thank you so much for your videos! I think I actually did good on my physics exam, and you helped me a ton. You're a real one. Will you be making physics C videos?
In one of the college board videos, there was a problem where it asked to compare the total mechanical energy of two books that rotated around a ferris wheel. They defined the system as the book only and the ferris wheel was in uniform circular motion. Specifically, one of the books was rotating at the very bottom and another one close to the top. They stated the total mechanical energy of each book was the same as each other, but wouldn't that not be true since there is an external force (by Earth) so therefore energy is supposed to change?
The net work done doesn't change. It is equal to F x d, the force of gravity never changes and it isn't acting parallel, i.e. the book is moving left and the force of gravity is downwards (same throughout the wheel).
Hey, is there any way you can please please make the stream you just did not private? It say's that it's a private video now. I was watching and taking notes so I was a bit behind and it cut off right when you were explaining something... Is there any way you can make it public? THANK YOU!! It helped me a lot!!!
At 4:10, you said the mechanical energy increased for the only-block system. Though the potential energy decreased, it gained kinetic energy. Did the increasing kinetic energy overcome the decreasing potential energy to make an increasing overall mechanical energy? Am I just misunderstanding the concept that any type of positive work means an increase in total mechanical energy, even if PE decreases but KE increases? In addition, at roughly 3:36, you said that the total mechanical energy of the block only system increased because the net force is upward. Doesn't gravity do negative work on the system too, as it acts parallel but negatively? In this case, would the positive work of the spring on the mass overcome the negative work of gravity to get a positive net work? Thank you! Congrats on 1000.
thank you for the amazing explanation. I just still have one small confusion. How do we know that the upwards direction is positive and that forces acting in the upwards direction do positive work and vice versa for downwards and negative? Is positive work being up and negative work being down just something thats arbitrarily defined?
when you explained part b, you said that the force of the spring wouldn't change the ME. If that's the case, how would the Earth-Block system with no spring have decreasing ME?
I'm a bit confused about Part C in this question. The system is only the Block and the Earth so that means the Spring is doing outside work(Fs) on the block, changing Elastic Potential Energy to Kinetic Energy and applying it to the block. Wouldn't this change in Kinetic Energy increase the Total Mechanical Energy as the Spring is outside of the Earth-Block system?
Hello :). I just finished my AP Physics 1 test, and I just had some questions about it that I hope you could answer. I'll generalize it so it doesn't count as sharing the test. If the system is a cannon+cannonball, and cannon gets knocked back when firing due to conservation of momentum, but there is a frictional force on the cannon, would the mechanical energy be conserved or increase? i said increase, because the frictional force is an external force that moves in the direction of the center of mass. Is this wrong?
Hopefully he will do, I am also waiting, he said in another comment 45 minutes ago he is trying to work things out, so optimistically everything goes right
I'm still a bit confused on something. In the question it said to calculate the change in mechanical energy when the spring was going back up from maximum displacement. If the system were just the block and spring and the they said the find the energy when the system was going back down from equilibrium, would the force of gravity do positive work since it would be directed in the motion of the block?
Everything would change depending on the location of the block because the spring acts differently and the block accelerates differently at each point. But the analyzation would still be the same
Just a question. I thought for part b, it would stay constant because when the block and spring is fully stretched and at rest (L3) it has max spring potential energy only. As it travels to L2, the spring becomes less compressed while the block is gaining velocity, so spring potential energy decreases while kinetic energy increases. wouldn’t that mean that the energy of the block spring system is conserved? Can u explain what part of my thinking is wrong. Thank you!
@@dr.debruh2583 You still need to worry about gravity. The system for part B consists of the spring and block but there is still the force of gravity acting on the block. The system does not include Earth, therefore the force of gravity is an external force. Since it's an external force and does negative work on the system, the total mechincal energy goes down.
Because in free fall the only force acting on the block is gravity. That force acts in the same direction as the motion of the block, meaning its doing positive work. And since work is equal to the change in energy, ME increases.
Total mechanical energy does not increase while an object is in free fall. The energy is traded between potential energy and kinetic energy, both of which are included in the domain of "total mechanical energy".
Hi, I'm confused about one thing. If we have the open system of just the block, and Fs=Fg, would ME be conserved IF both forces were the same magnitude? (because there is no net acceleration)
I have a question about the exams, in my class we use different variables for the formulas on the ap physics 1 equation sheet... do I have to use those variables or do the ap readers not care
not sure what you mean.. but I would def use the variable that associated with each thing in the formula... like can you call Fnet.. "Z" and say Z=ma... NO!!!
Math And Physics Tutor when I watch the review videos they will use mg instead of Fw (force of weight) or mgsintheta instead of Fa (force of acceleration) we used 2015 physics reference table...
Hey! I'm self-studying too! This channel is awesome and also check out Flipping Physics and CB's live RUclips sessions if you haven't already. I found all of these to be super helpful in helping me think more conceptually in terms of physics rather than plugging in numbers into a formula, especially valid for this year's exam! Best of luck! You got this! :)
I think so - I read in another comment a while back that he may be having some issues getting started! I'm keeping my eyes open on his page reloading every few minutes!
@@zbzb923 Hi there! I did watch it, but unfortunately, I couldn’t really take in-depth notes, because it was mostly a broad overview of things. Also, Mr. Finn made it clear afterward that he is only keeping it public until midnight EST (which has already passed) - I’m so sorry that you couldn’t attend :( But, just as a gist of what he stated: focus on connecting the dots (big ideas that encompass a lot of relationships) like conservation of energy and momentum; he also gave short review snippets of SHM, pulleys, etc. He recommends watching the playlists on these big ideas, especially ones you find difficult. Also, watch the solution videos he’s done recently and take note of whenever he says something is important. Rather than the answer itself, focus on how you get there and what key principles he used. Make a *very organized* (so you don’t waste precious time) sheet for every unit with these main ideas and have it with you for the test. As for any specific physics topic discussed (i.e. main ideas about SHM or Torque), you can just watch the topic videos in his channel and get those points! I think those were the key takeaways for me. I hope this helps you a bit! Good luck!
Yes. As soon as the question are public they are released. I have made videos in 10 different. I think they will be allowed by college board to be release next week
I was just watching the AP Timed Practice #2 Solution video on CB's RUclips AP Physics 1 playlist. The video is ruclips.net/video/BhAEGzofEB0/видео.html (the link is timestamped to take you to the part I'm talking about). For question 1 which is an adapted Ferris wheel question (you did a version of it from AP Classroom, but this is has some additional parts), in part (i) the correct answer was given was that for the book only system, ME is conserved. I thought that the book only system is a single object system, so Energy would change and gravity would do work on it. Why is isn't ME changing? If possible, I'd love to get your perspective. Thanks so much!!
In my opinion, gravity would do external work on it and so would the Ferris wheels motor. Now if those two did equal and opposite work then the system would be closed and ME would remain constant. Remember from the video that an open system has an outside NET FORCE acting and ME is changed when that outside NET force does work. Without seeing the question, if they are stating that ME remained the same then gravity and and to motor did equal and opposite work on the system.
@@themathandphysicstutor I did some digging on Mr. Jacobs's (CB RUclips teacher) twitter to see if he explained further. The repeated answer I see is that the question says that angular speed is constant (which means that linear speed is constant even though the directions of the components keep changing throughout). This means that KE is constant, so KE top = KE bottom. PE can't be included since Earth isn't in the system. And, thus ME is conserved? Even after reading it, I still find it confusing since it looks like an open system.
@@themathandphysicstutor The trio of terms, open system, closed system, and isolated system, are thermodynamics terms, referring to whether mass and/or energy can cross the system boundaries. An open system can have both mass and energy cross its boundaries. A closed system can have energy cross its boundaries, but not mass. An isolated system cannot have any mass or energy cross its boundaries. Whether forces of constraint could act on an isolated system or not, wouldn't be considered in the thermodynamics terms. It is a common misunderstanding to think that a closed system cannot have energy cross its boundaries, since that is what the term isolated system is intended to mean. All isolated systems are closed systems, but the converse is not necessarily true. You use the terms "open system" and "closed system" with similar, but somewhat different meanings to how they are used in thermodynamics. The way you use the word "closed system" is more like the concept of an isolated system in thermodynamics. Although it is more isolated than a thermodynamically isolated system, because your use of this term also excludes force and momentum interactions, that thermodynamics doesn't care about for zero-work forces.

No worries. Thanks for studing
love these videos, why does ME increase when an object is in freefall if the system is defined as just the block.
Because in free fall the only force acting on the block is gravity. That force acts in the same direction as the motion of the block, meaning its doing positive work. And since work is equal to the change in energy, ME increases.
The force of gravity does work in the same direction of motion

Hi, I'm confused about one thing. If we have the open system of just the block, and Fs=Fg, would ME be conserved IF both forces were the same magnitude? (because there is no net acceleration)
outside NET force make it open
If all the outside forces cancel, can the mechanical energy be constant?
Yes. An open system has an outside NET force acting
I have a question about the exams, in my class we use different variables for the formulas on the ap physics 1 equation sheet... do I have to use those variables or do the ap readers not care
not sure what you mean.. but I would def use the variable that associated with each thing in the formula... like can you call Fnet.. "Z" and say Z=ma... NO!!!
Math And Physics Tutor when I watch the review videos they will use mg instead of Fw (force of weight) or mgsintheta instead of Fa (force of acceleration) we used 2015 physics reference table...
I really need help, does anyone know any good ap physics 1 study guides or review sheets, I'm self studying
Right here bud!
Hey! I'm self-studying too! This channel is awesome and also check out Flipping Physics and CB's live RUclips sessions if you haven't already. I found all of these to be super helpful in helping me think more conceptually in terms of physics rather than plugging in numbers into a formula, especially valid for this year's exam! Best of luck! You got this! :)
@@ananyaanair917 dude I love Flipping Physics! Mr. P, Billy, Bobby, and Bo
@@thehobbyist146 Sammee!! With Mr. Finn and Mr. P, I think we can rock this test! :) Best of luck!
are u still going live tn?
I plan on it. Trying to learn how 🤯🤷🏻♂️
@@themathandphysicstutor great! You are a physics saviour
Math And Physics Tutor thank you so much💖💖💖
does anyone know whether the questions were we have to design our experiments will be on the test?
They are not
Nope, the experimental design question is not on the exam! Just QQT and SA/PA! Good luck!
go to the college board website and look at the question types. We have known this for weeks man! Comeon! 😥
Hey Sir, congratulations on getting more that 1k subscribers!!😆🎁🎊😁I am so happy for you.... Are you still planning to do the live session tho
I think so - I read in another comment a while back that he may be having some issues getting started! I'm keeping my eyes open on his page reloading every few minutes!
sorry for the delay!
Math And Physics Tutor sir did u upload anything yet cause I didn’t receive any notification from you
Ananyaa Nair hey did u attend the live session if u did can u send me what u got from the livestream unfortunately I didn’t attend it
@@zbzb923 Hi there! I did watch it, but unfortunately, I couldn’t really take in-depth notes, because it was mostly a broad overview of things. Also, Mr. Finn made it clear afterward that he is only keeping it public until midnight EST (which has already passed) - I’m so sorry that you couldn’t attend :( But, just as a gist of what he stated: focus on connecting the dots (big ideas that encompass a lot of relationships) like conservation of energy and momentum; he also gave short review snippets of SHM, pulleys, etc. He recommends watching the playlists on these big ideas, especially ones you find difficult. Also, watch the solution videos he’s done recently and take note of whenever he says something is important. Rather than the answer itself, focus on how you get there and what key principles he used. Make a *very organized* (so you don’t waste precious time) sheet for every unit with these main ideas and have it with you for the test. As for any specific physics topic discussed (i.e. main ideas about SHM or Torque), you can just watch the topic videos in his channel and get those points! I think those were the key takeaways for me. I hope this helps you a bit! Good luck!
Thanks!!
No problem!
It’s over!!!!🥳🥳🥳
How was it???
Crap! You have to take it again?
Could you upload the recent live please? :))
Live until midnight
Math And Physics Tutor Thank you 😁
Are you going to go over the test?
Yes. As soon as the question are public they are released. I have made videos in 10 different. I think they will be allowed by college board to be release next week
Math And Physics Tutor awesome bro
What topics do you think will be on the AP Physics exam?
1-7
I was just watching the AP Timed Practice #2 Solution video on CB's RUclips AP Physics 1 playlist. The video is ruclips.net/video/BhAEGzofEB0/видео.html (the link is timestamped to take you to the part I'm talking about). For question 1 which is an adapted Ferris wheel question (you did a version of it from AP Classroom, but this is has some additional parts), in part (i) the correct answer was given was that for the book only system, ME is conserved. I thought that the book only system is a single object system, so Energy would change and gravity would do work on it. Why is isn't ME changing? If possible, I'd love to get your perspective. Thanks so much!!
In my opinion, gravity would do external work on it and so would the Ferris wheels motor. Now if those two did equal and opposite work then the system would be closed and ME would remain constant. Remember from the video that an open system has an outside NET FORCE acting and ME is changed when that outside NET force does work. Without seeing the question, if they are stating that ME remained the same then gravity and and to motor did equal and opposite work on the system.
@@themathandphysicstutor I did some digging on Mr. Jacobs's (CB RUclips teacher) twitter to see if he explained further. The repeated answer I see is that the question says that angular speed is constant (which means that linear speed is constant even though the directions of the components keep changing throughout). This means that KE is constant, so KE top = KE bottom. PE can't be included since Earth isn't in the system. And, thus ME is conserved? Even after reading it, I still find it confusing since it looks like an open system.

Love. Thank youi
If the kinetic energy of the block is increasing, but the elastic potential energy of the spring is decreasing.
is that question?
@@themathandphysicstutor I understand it now!
Any updates?
on what
Math And Physics Tutor the live stream, thank you so much for everything!
oh. It was a great time!
I thought a system had to be isolated not closed for energy to be conserved
Not sure what you mean by isolated
@@themathandphysicstutor The trio of terms, open system, closed system, and isolated system, are thermodynamics terms, referring to whether mass and/or energy can cross the system boundaries. An open system can have both mass and energy cross its boundaries. A closed system can have energy cross its boundaries, but not mass. An isolated system cannot have any mass or energy cross its boundaries. Whether forces of constraint could act on an isolated system or not, wouldn't be considered in the thermodynamics terms. It is a common misunderstanding to think that a closed system cannot have energy cross its boundaries, since that is what the term isolated system is intended to mean. All isolated systems are closed systems, but the converse is not necessarily true.
You use the terms "open system" and "closed system" with similar, but somewhat different meanings to how they are used in thermodynamics. The way you use the word "closed system" is more like the concept of an isolated system in thermodynamics. Although it is more isolated than a thermodynamically isolated system, because your use of this term also excludes force and momentum interactions, that thermodynamics doesn't care about for zero-work forces.

0/10 would not take the ap again
Whoa!!
lol go to sleep man
I can sleep next week!
Sleep is for normies
