  • If we are going to study the motion of objects, we are going to have to learn about the concepts of position, velocity, and acceleration. More scalars and vectors! Once we get this stuff out of the way, we can really get cooking.

    if you find the acceleration/deceleration confusing, you're not alone. A lot of education places only use acceleration and the direction is indicated by positive or negative. They do this to avoid confusion and even though people are used to the colloquial "deceleration" once you get used to the idea of "there is only acceleration" and the direction is indicated by positive or negative, it can make it a lot easier to keep the directions straight in your head.

    Hello! I'm hoping someone can help me to figure this out. How can I determine speed MPH of a pendulum that's swinging (swinging for/aft.) but independent from the moving object it's fixed on? For example, if there is a shiny compact CD hung with fishing line from an automobiles rearview mirror. Also, would a radar beam signal be more apt to bounce off the shiny CD (pendulum) than other items on the round shaped front clip of a 2003 Ford Taurus? If a car is going 30mph .....would the pendulums' forward motion combined with the actual vehicle speed being 30mph, then give a false speed reading (showing faster speed 30)? Please advise. I'd greatly appreciate any/all help. I'm very interested making this determination, but lack the means, equipment, and a good place in which to test.
    Thanks a million!!!
    R.L. Buddi

    • @carultch
      @carultch Рік тому

      A pendulum hanging in a car cannot tell you speed. At best, it is an accelerometer. And it is only accurate when your acceleration is steady.
      Changes in your acceleration will cause it to swing back and forth, and not give an accurate readout to the details of how acceleration changes. Actual accelerometers have a micro-electro mechanical system that is a tiny mass on a spring that is critically damped, so it minimizes as much error due to the changing acceleration as possible.

    • @ProfessorDaveExplains
      @ProfessorDaveExplains  5 років тому +25

      well so if you are moving in the forward direction you have a positive velocity, and if you hit the brakes the acceleration will be in the negative direction, so until you stop completely you'll have a decreasing but positive velocity and a negative acceleration, opposite directions.

    • @glennmalvel7086
      @glennmalvel7086 2 роки тому +2

  • @Oscar-yd8df
    @Oscar-yd8df 6 років тому +15

    I have a question.
    In the answers of the check your comprehension, the answer for reverse deceleration and reverse acceleration states that the Displacement is moving forward and the magnitude is decreasing.
    Shouldn't the displacement be moving backwards, and the magnitude decreasing too? Since we're reversing back towards our starting location, I thought the displacement's vector would be backwards to where its original starting point was.

    • @ProfessorDaveExplains
      @ProfessorDaveExplains  6 років тому +22

      so don't forget that displacement will always begin from your starting point, so the only way for it to become negative is for you to go past where you started and begin traveling in the opposite direction from there. so it's not that displacement is moving forward, it's just that it's always pointing forward, until you get back to your starting point, where displacement is zero.

    • @ambidextrousseamer7101
      @ambidextrousseamer7101 2 роки тому +1

      @@ydhanusree4126 because by 'displacement' here he meant 'overall displacement (ie.from displacement from the starting position). So if you look at the position of body even during reverse acceleration/deceleration, the position (ie. the overall displacement) of the body is forward to the starting point.
      Though the instantenous displacemnt will be in the backward direction therefor the instantenous velocity is also in the backward direction.
      The catch here is that here according to Prof
      Displacement = Overall displacement;
      Velocity = Instantenous Velocity
      I guess he should've been just a bit more clear about that. Nevertheless a sweet and simple way of explaining by him.

      average velocity = (u+v)/2
      (Where 'u' here is the initial velocity and 'v' is the final velocity) if and only if velocity is constant.
      average velocity = displacement/(change in time)

    why is displacement vector positiv for revers path, when the cars is going back?

    • @cupiduspacis4209
      @cupiduspacis4209 4 роки тому +1

      Because displacement is a measure of how far the car has moved in a particular direction, in this case forwards. As the car reverses, its forward displacement from its original position gradually decreases until it is back where it started. If it continued reversing from here, then the direction would change to backwards.

    • @physicsnama
      @physicsnama 3 роки тому

      Yes , direction of displacement can be changed in uniform velocity. Suppose a body is moving in uniform velocity on x-axis from negative x-axis to positive x-axis. Till is crosses the origin , its displacement is negative and after crossing the origin its displacement is positive.
      Not necessarily. Velocity is vector quantity having magnitude and direction. It is defined as rate of change of position with respect of time. If body position and direction , or any of both changes , we can say body has velocity. For details watch Path Length and Displacement, Average Velocity on PhysicsNama.

      There isn't enough information to know for sure that acceleration is constant, in the given problem. To keep it simple, introductory kinematics assumes constant acceleration unless otherwise specified.

    I have a question can the acceleration be constant such that it only affects the direction of velocity but not its magnitude.

    • @carultch

      Depends on whether you just mean magnitude of acceleration, or acceleration in its full vector form. Because it is only when acceleration is perpendicular to velocity, that it exclusively causes a change in direction of velocity. This is called centripetal acceleration.
      One example of a constant acceleration vector, is projectile motion in a uniform gravitational field. Throw a ball in a direction that is perfectly horizontal. Initially, the acceleration is perpendicular to the velocity, and only causes a change in direction. But once you let the effects of that acceleration accumulate, the ball starts descending, and the velocity is no longer perfectly horizontal. Due to the fact that part of velocity now aligns with the acceleration, acceleration causes a change in speed in addition to a change in direction. There is only an instantaneous point, where the acceleration is purely centripetal, without also being tangential.
      In uniform circular motion, the acceleration is constant in magnitude, and so is the speed. But both the acceleration and speed have to change direction constantly, so that acceleration is always perpendicular to velocity. These two kinematics quantities remain constant in magnitude, but not constant in direction. Because they are vector quantities, it is incorrect to call them constant if direction is changing.

    This was a great video but it did kind of leave me asking myself what displacement actually is. For those also confused it's the position in reference to the origin, so if I travel 4 meters to the right from the bus stop and one meter to the left, the distance traveled would be 5 meters but the displacement would be three meters to the right since that is where you are relative the bus stop (regardless of how you got there).

      Yeah I thank that's what displacement is
