    Vector fields let you visualize a function with a two-dimensional input and a two-dimensional output. You end up with, well, a field of vectors sitting at various points in two-dimensional space.
    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.

    All those going vector fields pointing inward and outward remind of the g2g shear in a tornado. You calculate it by adding the inflow bound and the outflow bound. Tornadoes seem to be.very hard to understand because some of them are very wide and extremely intense while some may be rope like and extremely intense.

  • @cauchyschwarz3295
    @cauchyschwarz3295 2 роки тому

    I think the concept of a vector field where we think of vectors as little arrows is quite confusing and pointless unless you think about something like velocity.
    Because you might just as well think of each vector as a position coordinate and of the function as a transformation of space. If you do that, then attaching the vector to the tip of the function argument is severly missleading, since the result is not at all where the argument ends up.

  • @anuragsub
    @anuragsub 5 років тому +2

    Every time I watch this video, yeah, I feel like I am pretty clear about the stuff. But after a while, when I start thinking and try to visualise the vector field as the way he does, It feels pretty absurd despite the fact that he says that visualising the graph precisely needs 4 dimensions.
    What I mean is, In the video, he is clearly taking a function with inputs x and y. Yeah, it is easy and clear about the plotting of the input points in the x and y axes. But, what about the outputs?? Those are completely different quantities and clearly can't be plotted along x and y axes as they have their own distinct values. So, Is the way he visualises the vector field in the video precise?? I don't understand.

    • @larrybethune3909

      Take a look a an animation of airflow around, say, a formula 1 car. Now that I understand what a vector field drawing actually is, it's fairly clear that F1 aerodynamicists and use them to visualize the airflow behaviour like direction, velocity and, in some cases, the pressure of the air as it flows around the various aerodynamic elements of the car.
      I suspect that they use CFD and wind tunnel data to create and confirm the design is producing the desired effect before they go to manufacturing and then, use the wind tunnel and track to confirm results and see if there is good correlation between what they saw in CFD and what the see in real life.
      On many F1 weekends, during FP1, engineers will put Pitou Tubes matrices on the car to measure air speed as it is compressed, and therefore accelerated, as it moves around the car. Like this.
      s.hswstatic.com/gif/co2-powered-dragsters-1.jpg
      From these numbers they can then calculate things like local or overall drag and downforce
      This analysis helps determine if the design is behaving as expected. If you watch F1 you might hear the term "correlation" used to describe how tightly the predicted performance, calculated from wind tunnel and/or cfd testing, aligns with empirically derived data and/or car performance.

    • @larrybethune3909
      @larrybethune3909 6 років тому +3

      Oh, I forgot, this stuff also applies to meteorology. Consider this map of wind speed and direction.
      about.metservice.com/assets/static-content/learning/how_to_read_5.gif
      I submit that if those little arrows line up in a certain way you can assume you are looking at a specific type of weather pattern. If the little lines form a circle and they are red RUN for the storm cellar.

    Why it doesn't matter from where vector starts?

    • @izvarzone
      @izvarzone 4 роки тому

      there are two vectors. One is point coordinate (starts from world center) and poit normal (starts from each point)
      or world position (starts from center) vs local (starts from parent coordinate) a.k.a. absolute vs relative

  • @eruiluvatar6688
    @eruiluvatar6688 6 років тому

    2:41 why does he say it doesn't matter where vectors start? I thought all vectors have to start at (0,0)?

    • @laurahoughton1289
      @laurahoughton1289 6 років тому +2

      Hi Eru, Good question. I think you are right. Vectors start at (0,0) in the output space. However, in this case as you know we are only viewing the input space, so to get a sense of what vectors result from those points in the input space, we attach the vector to the relevant point in the input space. Cheers, Laura.

    • @axemenace6637
      @axemenace6637 6 років тому +4

      Eru Ilúvatar Don't listen to Laura- you aren't correct. Vectors are identical after translation, so translating a vector from (0,0) to (1,2) keeps all aspects of the vector constant. It is conventional to start vectors from (0,0), but as that it a convention, we could just as well start vectors from (283, 192828) and we would mathematically have the same object.

    • @eruiluvatar6688
      @eruiluvatar6688 6 років тому

      But how would one know where we started from if it isn't assumed to be (0,0)?

    Isn't the 4th dimension just time? So can't we graph f(x, y, z) on a 3D graph, but just reference each point on the graph to its corresponding f(x,y,z) -- "time" -- value?

    • @matejalmasi6533
      @matejalmasi6533 4 роки тому

      The 4th dimension can be anything. Actually, all of the dimensions may represent anything you wish to model or understand. You may have eighteen dimensions all representing different properties (physical or what not) of different objects.

    • @izvarzone
      @izvarzone 4 роки тому

      because it's [1,2] vector, not [2,2] and it seems x value calculated with y, and y with x thats why its [-10,-8], not [-8,-10]
