    ... and after all these years... a few days ago, Jocelyn Bell finally *was* awarded the Nobel prize she's deserved all this time. As I understand it, she intends to donate the entire cash-award part of her prize. I know nothing of her financial circumstances, but even most well-off people would be unlikely to be so magnanimous with "windfall" wealth.
    You do know her, so please offer her a *whacking* high-five from me, won't you? :-)

      Thank you so much for correcting me, Walter: I won't make that mistake again. She *deserves* the recognition and more all the same, but the Nobel snub still rankles.
      What amazes me is that (as you and others have described her) she's humble, gracious and generous enough to let all that slide *and* offer up her huge cash prize to support others.
      Yeah... a woman can be a mensch. :-) :-) :-)

    • @lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259

      if an object is in pure translation then there is angular momentum relative to all points except points on the "straight" line of the movement. Depending on the problem you need to solve this angular momentum can be CRUCIAL and can not be ignored.

    Hello Prof Lewin, if there is a mouse on the edge of a rotating disk and we know the moment of inertia of the disk about the centre of mass, then we can find the total moment of inertia which includes the moment of inertia of the mouse measured with respect to the CM of disk. Lets say this disk is moving with constant w. Then the mouse moves towards the center of mass of the disk. Then we can use conservation of Angular momentum to get the new angular velocity. But which moment of inertia do we use for when the mouse is in the centre of mass of the disk. Is it just the moment of inertia about the CM of the disk without the mouse on it, or has the mass of the mouse affected the moment of inertia of the disk about the centre of mass? Thank you!

      @lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259  7 років тому +4

      Spin angular momentum of the Earth is an intrinsic property it's omega*I. Orbital angular momentum of the Earth is ONLY conserved relative to the Sun, NOT relative to any other point. If you choose a point somewhere on the orbit, when the Earth is at that point the orbital angular momentum relative to that point is ZERO.

    Please, Sir! Don`t answer if it´s too complicated for you to explain it ,ok? Why don´t earth (in the orbital moviment ) looses energy ( as an electron would do in its hipotetical orbital movement around the nucleus) and go into an spiral moviment towards the final colision with the sun? Sorry about my English! You are our hero!!!!!

      Yes you got it. In classical physics accelerated charges produce EM waves. That's the result of Maxwell's eqs. However, in Newtonian mechanics masses that are accelerated do not radiate any energy. HOWVER, in GR (Einstein) accelerated masses do radiate energy; in the form of gravitational waves (GW). The acceleration of the Earth in orbit (v^2/R) is so low that it cannot even be measured. However, two black holes in a close binary system radiate a large amount of energy (GW). Thus the orbits shrink and ultimately they wil merge, the black holes will spiral into each other producing a HUGE "last Surge of GW. This was first observed on Sept 14, 2015 with LIGO. LIGO was perceived 40 years ago by my friend Rai Weiss (former colleague of mine at MIT). I predict that he will share the Nobel Prize of Physics this year for that fabulous result. GW were predicted 100 years by Einstein.

    • @carultch
      @carultch 3 роки тому

      If its rotational inertia remains unchanged (individual rigid body), it requires a net torque to act upon it, in order to have an angular acceleration. An object can have angular acceleration without torque, while changing its rotational inertia.
      Unlike linear inertia (i.e. mass), that requires changing the identity of the body to change its mass (like a rocket loosing its propellant mass, or farm equipment collecting a harvest), rotational inertia can change just by redistributing the mass. As you can see with the turntable demonstration in this lecture.

      If an object of mass m is rotating about its com with angular momentum A and if it is also translating with velocity V, then the angular momentum relative to any point P is A + m*dXV, d is the position vector from P to the com. X indicates cross product.

    24:44 what happens to the rotational kinetic energy? I understand when you pull your arms in it increases and that comes from reduction of internal chemical energy used for the work to bring arms in. But when you pull your arms out how is energy conserved?? You lose rotational kinetic energy, but you don't gain any internal energy. Where does the lost kinetic energy go? Who gains that energy?
    I understand you could extend the arms almost effortlessly, but still in this case what balances the loss of KE in that closed system?
    (from the lab frame there is no centrifugal force)

    • @carultch
      @carultch 2 роки тому

      Good question. To understand what happens to the rotational kinetic energy when his arms extend and his body slows down when rotating, consider a linear motion example. Suppose there is a 1 kg bottle of water on top of a 1 meter table above the floor. You pick it up, and carry it to set it gently on the floor. It starts at rest, and ends at rest, so something must've happened to the 9.8 Joules of potential energy in this example, as that energy cannot be in the bottle's kinetic energy. Your muscles generate thermal energy when they act as brakes for objects in motion, absorbing the work done on them, and dissipating the energy as heat.
      That's what happens to his rotational kinetic energy as well, when he extends his arms while rotating on that platform. The kinetic energy becomes work done on his muscles, and when work is done on a person's muscles, heat is dissipated. Since our bodies aren't built for regenerative braking of objects in motion, we also get tired from doing negative work on objects in motion, just as we would get tired from doing positive work to put objects in motion.

  • @haupham5086

    I could understand the conservation law of angular momentum when I was in 3rd or 4th grade. I knew that rotating bodies like wheels tend to keep the direction of their axes. Therefore, when I was in 5th grade, I felt confident to learn how to ride a bike because I knew that the bike would not fell as long as the wheels rotated.
    Is it correct? Is the bike based on the conservation law of angular momentum ?

  • @arunbhardwaj2744
    @arunbhardwaj2744 3 роки тому +1

    sir,,,i am a little confused at 24:45 as you are pulling your arms nearer to the axis of rotation you are accelerating as your angular velocity keeps on increasing and finally reaches its maximum value due to conservation of angular momentum but to provide an angular acceleration there must be some external force acting on the system which is absent here, then how you are accelerating,,,
    like if we take an example of a bomb blast into two fragments each fragment gets some velocity due to internal forces but if we look at each fragment separately then this internal force is actually external for them which makes their velocity from 0 to a certain value but to the whole system the net force is 0.i,e we can actually visualize what forces are giving them velocities here..........but in this case of increasing angular velocity what is going on?
    or IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO HAVE A NET EXTERNAL TORQUE ON THE SYSTEM TO PROVIDE IT AN ANGULAR ACCELERATION??

    • @carultch
      @carultch 2 роки тому

      Given a body that remains rigid that cannot redistribute its mass, a torque is required to change its angular velocity, i.e. for it to have an angular acceleration.
      For a system that CAN redistribute its mass internally, an external torque is not the only way to give it an angular acceleration. Redistributing the mass, and changing the moment of inertia, will cause its angular velocity to change.
      There is a torque that acts on a body as it moves radially in a rotating reference frame, and this is a consequence of the Coriolis effect. It is this internal torque that occurs between Professor Lewin and the two barbells, that enables the barbells to apply a torque to speed him up.
      Try walking along the radial handrail on a spinning merry-go-round, and you will experience this effect. You will feel an apparent force pulling you tangentially forward, when you walk radially inward, and you will feel an apparent force pulling you tangentially backward, when you walk radially outward. To stay at the same position as the handrail, you experience a constraint force as a reaction to these apparent forces that are a consequence of the Coriolis effect. The constraint force (tension or compression in your arms) is what enables the speed of the merry-go-round to change, as you redistriute the mass of the system by moving radially on it.
