    when you said θ(t) = Acosωt + Bsinωt, why did you decide to put omega inside the sine and cosine?

    why are u not considering the component of tension that also acts ,if we take angle theta with the vertical then tsin(theta) provides force for the circular motion ??

  • @toby2031
    @toby2031 Рік тому

    Thank you for this video. At 3:25, isn't the acceleration always directed towards the centre in circular motion? Surely therefore there is no component in the direction of s to plug into F=ma?

    • @DotPhysics
      @DotPhysics  Рік тому

      The tension does indeed pull in the center direction, but not the gravitational force. This means the net force is not in the r-hat direction.

    • @kaeez
      @kaeez 5 місяців тому

      What you're referring to here is the centripetal force which facilitates circular motion. The centripetal force here is provided by the tension in the string. The gravitational acceleration is provided by the gravitational force.

    Thank you I finally understand this! I didn’t anticipate that it would involve a little Taylor series action!

  • @trickyepithet9122

    I found a different way to derive, but im not sure if its correct.
    force of gravity = centripetal force?
    mg = mw^2 L
    w^2 = g/L
    w = (g/L)^1/2
    is it a correct way to derive?

    • @DotPhysics
      @DotPhysics  Рік тому

      But the gravitational force is down and the acceleration is up. This doesn't work.

      What is an example of an "extreme distance free fall" problem?

    • @HigorMadeira97
      @HigorMadeira97 2 роки тому +1

      like when should consider the gradient of gravity, like a tennis ball falling the same distance from the moon to earh, since the gravity will change in some rate, and obviously the acceleration will not be as the same as earth surface.
      i think would be very nice see how it is done.

    • @shivanach45
      @shivanach45 Рік тому

      ​@@HigorMadeira97 You'd need to use differential equations and g (now a variable) would be GM / R where G is the universal gravitation constant, M is the mass of the earth and R is the distance between the point mass (assume tennis ball to be a point mass) and Earth's centre . Essentially, we are having g to vary with distance here.

    Could I ask why you have to let theta is small before the next step?

    • @DotPhysics
      @DotPhysics  Рік тому +1

      If theta is small, then you can let sin(theta) = theta. That makes the differential equation solvable by guessing a solution. It will look just like a simple harmonic oscillator.

    Why can we say w=2*pi*f?

    • @kathode1
      @kathode1 10 місяців тому +3

      angular frequency (ω) is defined as the amount of radians an oscillator undergoes per second, which would be 2πf because frequency is the amount of cycles and there are 2π radians/cycle

    • @samridhsharma5028
      @samridhsharma5028 2 місяці тому

      Since f is 1/T, so basically f is denoting the time here. It is one and the same thing, just in different notation

    Why the θ(t) = Acosωt + Bsinωt ?

    • @DotPhysics
      @DotPhysics  Рік тому +1

      not theta(t), but f(t) - right? It's a function that satisfies the differential equation. If you take the derivative twice, you get the same function with a negative constant out front.

    If you really want to understand this.. you need to know how to solve linear differential equations with constant coefficients and complex numbers. Requires more than just physics.
