    For the next one, I'm going to switch back to a more engineering one rather than simple physics. I think the more advanced solutions are more beautiful but I'd love to hear from you here in the comments about which you prefer. Thanks for watching!

      In the second leg the most impactful missing factor was that you didn't count for the balls angular velocity, and for the kinetic energy that was converted to angular velocity instead of horisontal velocity. In this bet i think the solution was predictable, and that made it more fun therefore i would prefer these simpler bets.

    3:06 You should use the effective mass of a rolling object to calculate the kinetic energy. If you assume the ball rolls without slipping, then there is a fixed ratio between the kinetic energies of rotation and translation, which in the case of a homogeneous ball means it's like it has 7/5 of the actual mass of the ball.
    Thus the speed of the ball accounting for its rotation should be sqrt(5/7) = 84.5% of the calculated speed without rotation, meaning it should take 18.3% longer for the ball to fall off the table.
    Considering the estimate of ~4.5 bounces, the corrected estimate should be around ~5.3 bounces which is still quite a bit off from 6 bounces

      the ramp also looks as if the ball does not leave it in a completely horizontal motion. But I guess the loss of speed on the ramp due to rotational energy is the bigger effect

    • @Riftoo
      @Riftoo 2 місяці тому +2

      to me even if you added air resistance it would be around the same point because although the rotation slows down the coin also reaches terminal velocity meaning it has more time to flip than predicted which then means that you have something decreasing the amt of flips (decrease in rotational velocity) and something increasing the amt of flips (increase in air time)

    @cynrui3471 3 місяці тому +1

    These are my explanations (which may be wrong)
    Coin: the coin experiences air resistance while spinning through the air hence slowing down the rotational velocity of the coin
    Ball: friction with the table comes into play (as the horizontal distance is the limiting factor here, determining how long the ball remains on the table)
    During collisions the ball experiences friction that’s backwards, towards the wall, hence slowing down its horizontal velocity. Hence now the ball remains on the table for a longer time.
    Now I’d like to see how many bounces would occour without the ball travelling horizontally

    No Idea what calculations you just did but got both right with "educated guesses".
    First one because of air will slow down the flipping of the coin when it's flat.
    Second, balls bounce a lot.

  • @HenrikMyrhaug
    @HenrikMyrhaug 3 місяці тому +3

    Honestly, I think these are more guessing tham the previous ones. There are multiple variables that can affect the results in either direction, and I don't feel we have enough info to conclusively determine if it is under or over.

    • @OhhCrapGuy
      @OhhCrapGuy 3 місяці тому +4

      I think the key in both cases is that the model leaves out kinetic energy losses that are generally just difficult to account for.
      For instance, with the coin flip, there's air resistance slowing the coin rotating, that reduces the number of flips.
      For the ball, every contact with the table imparts a little bit of friction, slowing down the ball, and air resistance slows out down more, and so on.
      You could, of course, always set up a system that imparts extra energy to the ball in a non-obvious way (like causing the ball to be rotating more quickly, converting that rotational momentum into linear momentum on the first bounce), but the purpose of giving all of the values he does is to specifically get us to think about the variables that aren't already modelled, and to figure out how those will affect the result.

    • @Riftoo
      @Riftoo 2 місяці тому

      @@OhhCrapGuyfor the coin flip, the coin will also reach terminal velocity, meaning there is more time to flip, increasing the amount of flips too (which then means that it is possible for it to be either under or over). for the ball, it could be argued that the rotation forwards would increase its velocity in that direction, meaning it would bounce for less time leading to less flips. (although i dont think it was spinning fast enough for that so it hit over)

    Here's my theory as a high school level physics and AP physics 1 graduate. The potential energy of the ball was split between kinetic and rotational. There was slower horizontal (KE) movement because there was a lot of rotation on the ball. This caused the ball to move across the table slower than predicted allowing for more bounces.

    Over with the ball. the things that affected the results was the leant of the ramp and a lower drop off point when it left the ramp. Also the angle of the ramp for the forward horizontal motion . A little too much assumption on the equation with energy being conserved, and and having no friction drag.

  • @AlphaOfCrimson

    I got the second one wrong and I think I know why. Those balls have highly amplified friction due to deformation at impact. So the ball would have slowed after every bounce and I didnt account for that.
    It's the first one I've gotten wrong and wish I'd paused to think about it.

  • @zalibecquerel3463

    The ball was rotating "away" in the second video...
    However, when a ball like that bounces, it can reverse the spin every bounce.
    I do not know what too do with this information.

    For the bouncy ball, your analysis forgot about rotational kinetic energy. A high friction surface like rubber will gain a lot of rotation KE, meaning that a lot less linear KE will be created than you assumed. Combined with energy losses from rolling friction and air resistance, I was expecting way more bounces than 4.5.
    It'd be interesting if you redid the prediction, factoring in rotational KE. You might have gotten close to the actual value if you did.

    My rough guess without any deep thinking for the ball one is that the ball does lose energy with each bounce not only in its vertical axis but also in its horizontal velocity. So, with each bounce, the ball travels slower horizontally, taking more time to pass the table and in conclusion bouncing more
