Hello, thanks for the question. Q is not linear momentum; it is the sum of the products of the particle's linear momentum and position vector. At 1:41, I say "linear velocity is mass times velocity." By this, I mean p_i = m_i x v_i. Since Q is dependent on linear momentum, the equation for Q will also contain these terms. I hope that helps!
1:58 how we got 1/2
Inverse square law is -2? How?
Wow, I'm fascinated by this incredible video. Thank you!!! :)
Appreciate it!
At 1:41, are we treating Q as linear momentum? A book I'm reading follows the same steps and I don't understand why Q is suddenly linear momentum

Omgggg how did I not find this before 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for the kind words!
Thank you so much for this video! I through the structure of the video was super helpful :)
Yay, I'm so glad! I appreciate the comment.
감사합니다 선생님
In the solution to the example, is the 'v' the velocity of the center of mass of the galaxy?
I'm glad you brought this up. The velocity in the example refers to the mean velocity of the galaxy.
Extremely helpful, thank you!
That's good to hear! Thanks for the comment
Thank you so much!
Thanks!
