    THANK YOU BEARDED GUY!! YOU TAUGHT ME MORE IN 3 MINS THAN MY TEACHER COULD IN AN HOUR!!

    The gravitational energy at the start is calculated as mgh. The mass is unknown so we leave it as an unknown and just use the letter "m" to represent it. We also chose to use 10 for "g" instead of 9.8. The height at the start is 70m.
    The gravitational energy is then mgh or m x 10 x 70 = 700m. The "m" is the unknown mass and NOT the unit for meters.
    I hope this helps.

    Conservation of energy was a working hypothesis developed by Leibnitz, as it gave much simpler mathematical solutions. His hypothesis later became a Law of Physics. Einstein explains how important Leibnitz' hypothesis became for physicists to recognise Heat as a form of Energy. He goes on to explain that it was also important for the development of his own
    famous equation equating Mass and Energy

    At 2:40 you can cancel the m. At 2:50 you can bring the gha over to the other side so you get 700 - gha = 1/2 Va^2 The left side works out to 700 - 9.8*40 which is 308 on the left = 1/2 Va^2 on the right. Then you multiply both sides by 2 so the 1/2 is cancelled and you get 308*2 = Va^2 Then you get 616=Va^2 then take the square root of both sides you get 24.8 = Va

    @Rockification09 it's not 700m as in meters. It's 700 x m. As in mass. And it's 700 because its mgh where m is unknown so we left it, g is 10m/s^2 ,and h is 70m. So multiply h by g and you get 700!

  • @audiocorps2334
    @audiocorps2334 12 років тому +1

    mmmm, my main issue with understanding conservation of energy part of the fact that mgh + 1/2mv^2. Isn't mgh a vertical component? Is velocity an omnidirectional component because from what I can recall, it's not possible to add two different vectors....

    Hi, could you make a video on how to calculate the speed of the car 1) when it reaches the bottom of the loop for the first time, 2) when it reaches the top of the loop for the first time, 3) when it reaches the bottom of the loop for the second time? This is for GCSE exam, and we are only given the mass of the car (1500 kg, the height of the loop (8.5 metres), and starting position at 16 m above ground. Thanks!

    If you're travelling through a series of hills in an automobile will you conserve fuel by accelerating through the downhill then coasting through the uphill or by maintaining a constant speed limit?
    I'm trying to convince my roommate that the latter will use more fuel... but I'm not a Physician...

    • @inksthetic_2480
      @inksthetic_2480 7 років тому

      GetEmAndy It's not an estimation of mass.
      Since acceleartion due to gravity is 10 m/s^2, and the given height is 70 m, we will have:
      m(10)(70) = 700m where "m" is the mass.
      This basically means that for every kilogram (SI unit) of mass, there will be 700J of energy.

    • @nathanielcassim
      @nathanielcassim 6 років тому

      He has Eg there right?
      Well Eg = Potential Energy
      Potential Energy = mass * gravity * height
      The mass =1
      The gravity in his example = 10 (it should be 9.81 but he used 10 to simplify)
      The height in his example = 70
      Potential Energy = 10 * 70
      = 700

    • @OCReefer
      @OCReefer 8 років тому

      You are correct it does say 700m, but he uses the -10m/s^2 approx. for accel. of gravity so simplified you get => mgh which is (m)(10)(70) which equals 700m [m for mass not bringing in units for this]

    I think that as with most of the videos in physics topics, this video is missing to address an issue that every effective presentation in physics should; To give the viewer a general approach that will help him/her to solve any problem or to answer any question in the topic. Teaching a topic with an example only, might be pleasant and easier to follow but doesn't give the student the broader and deeper knowledge and methodology required to tackle any problem and master physics for the long run.
