    Just making an observation. The 'Net Work-Kinetic Energy Theorem' does indeed have one underlying assumption. That being the mass/inertia being constant. An example where the 'Net Work-Kinetic Energy Theorem' fails (due to this assumption) is in rocket mechanics because such systems' masses change with time.

    • @FlippingPhysics
      @FlippingPhysics  Před 8 lety +1

      +Shoaib Rashid If you assumed the net force is constant, then the acceleration is constant, then you can use a Uniformly Accelerated Motion equation in your derivation. I prefer this derivation; it's more fun.

    Watching from the future, on the first line at 2:25, you can notice that (dv/dt)dx can be rewritten as (dx/dt)dv, where v = (dx/dt). Therefore you have (v)dv. I think that has a more natural flow to solving the integral wrt velocity than dv/dt = (dv/dx)(dx/dt). (And it prevents "canceling" dx which is generally not viewed favorably by mathematicians.) Just a simpler way to solve it.

    Hey, great video! I saw one of your other videos where you go over how long it takes to make one of these type of videos. It's a lot of work! Maybe you should try making some videos without all the edits so it would save you a lot of time and you could add more content. Also if you made physics caluclus based videos, it would target a lot of college students like myself. And there is no real established physics person on youtube like there is for math. Patrickjmt and ProfessorLeonard are my favorites for math. Thanks for the great teaching you have provided me!

    Dear sir, you wrote dv/dt=(dv/dx)*(dx/dt) so, does velocity implicitly depends on position here? As I can see (dv/dx ) term, but v is only time dependent. How were you able to write this expression? Could you please make it clear! TiA.

    • @carultch
      @carultch Před 2 lety

      If v were completely independent of x, then dv/dx would equal zero, and you would get nowhere by doing that. But because v, x, and t are all interdependent on each other as kinematics quantities, you will get a derivative dv/dx and dx/dt.

    • @FlippingPhysics
      @FlippingPhysics  Před 6 lety +2

      Yes. You are correct. We used the form of Newton's Second Law which is only applicable for constant mass objects. So this would not be applicable for variable mass systems such as rockets. Thanks!

  • @wyskun
    @wyskun Před 6 lety

    I have a very important question for me:) In space, there is a space shuttle that does't move. Suppose that its mass is always constant. This space shuttle has a rocket engine with a constant force of 100N. When the engine is started and the ship has a constant thrust of 100N, when the ship starts to accelerate, will the acceleration be constant and remain constant (let's assume 10m / s), or maybe the acceleration will start to decrease as the speed increases? It is related to the rule Ek = 1 / 2mv ^ 2 ??

    • @Lashb1ade
      @Lashb1ade Před 6 lety

      The acceleration of an object experiencing constant force will be constant.
      The acceleration comes directly from Newton's Laws (a=F/m); for most mechanics problems, you consider conservation of momentum above that of energy. That isn't to say that energy isn't conserved, just that there are more ways that it can be dissipated, so is generally more difficult to work with.
      Now in your example: if thrust is constant then the energy being produced by [chemical reactions in] the engines is constant. As you appear to have noticed however, the rate of change in kinetic energy (or "power," dE/dt) of the rocket starts low, and increases over time. To ensure conservation of energy, we have to assume that there is somewhere else that the kinetic energy is going, and that this energy loss changes in the opposite direction, i.e. the loss decreases over time. The answer is to consider the fuel being flung out of the exhaust.
      As the rocket starts off, it's change in speed is small, but the exhaust gasses are accelerated in the opposite direction to massive speed, so gain a large amount of kinetic energy. Later on however, because the exhaust gasses are flung in the opposite direction to the motion of the rocket, they are having to "slow themselves down, and then accelerate again," so gain less energy.
      Example: The rocket engines are designed so they have a certain "exhaust velocity", say, 1000m/s. When the rocket is stationary, the Kinetic energy gained by a particle emitted is 1/2*m*1000^2. Later on the rocket is in motion, say at a speed of 200m/s. For a stationary observer, a particle will be travelling at 200-1000=-800 m/s (-800 m/s, means 800 m/s in the opposite direction). The *change in* KE of the particle will be KEfinal-KEinitial=1/2*m*(-800)^2 - 1/2*m*(200)^2 = 1/2*m*632^2. (Much lower).

    • @carultch
      @carultch Před 2 lety

      A rocket is a system of varying mass. You need to integrate the total impulse of the thrust force from the fuel, and then apply it as the change in momentum of the remaining payload. The total mass will decrease over time, so its acceleration will consistently increase if its propellant is burned at a constant rate.

  • @DemiHalf
    @DemiHalf Před 5 měsíci

    woah there, why are we allowed to change the limits of the integral at 3:27. Last i checked, position doesn't equal velocity

    • @joe_ninety_one5076
      @joe_ninety_one5076 Před 2 měsíci

      Each position will correspond to a particular velocity though.
      Once the integral has been expressed in terms of velocity, we only need the starting and ending velocities to evaluate it.

      Any question where you use the concept of kinetic energy as a shortcut to solve, is where you would use this information. You don't need to derive it from first principles every time, but this is to give you an idea of what is behind the equation of KE=1/2*m*v^2.

    Always true? How do you explain to students that that kinetic energy can be converted into other types of energy (like gravitational potential energy) over the duration of the scenario? In those cases the Work is equal to the change in mechanical energy, not kinetic energy.

  • @zuzusuperfly8363
    @zuzusuperfly8363 Před 8 lety +1

    If I may offer some kind of advice. Do you think it might be a little confusing to refer to both the pre and post calculus velocities as "velocity"? I think it would be enlightening to refer to "pre-calculus" velocity as "average velocity" because that's what it really is. Students would understand that this is only an average and they might also see why it would be desirable to somehow obtain a function that tells us the velocity at any time. In that way, there's clearly some more substantial knowledge to be gained from calculus. If I were a student, I would spend my free time wondering, "well, why do we need two different equations for velocity? That probably means those equations are equal, right?"

    • @FlippingPhysics
      @FlippingPhysics  Před 8 lety +3

      +Zuzu Superfly Thanks, that is a valid point. I do describe the calculus equations as "instantaneous velocity" and "instantaneous acceleration", however, it would have been more clear to also refer to the algebra equations as "average velocity"' and "average acceleration". It's not worth redoing the videos over, however, I will keep it in mind for the future and I have updated the lecture notes on my webpage to make it more clear. Thanks.

    Hello!
    This explanation was easy to understand, however Im a bit confused at part 3:12 as to why the dx in the denominator of velocity dv , did not cancel out with with the dx in the numerator with respect to time and would then yield the integral of (dv/dt) dx?

    • @FlippingPhysics
      @FlippingPhysics  Před 6 lety

      dv (dx/dt) equals (dv/dt) dx, however, (dv/dt) dx does not progress forward in solving the problem.

    • @lollolzi2996
      @lollolzi2996 Před 6 lety

      Seems kinda weird, because if this would be derived for the first time, someone would have intuitively, cancelled out the dx's in the bracket and gotten (dv/dt) dx, however it would lead to deadline (since you just said it would not progress forward in solving the integral). Or mabye this needs some deeper math understanding that I dont have. But thanks :D

    • @FlippingPhysics
      @FlippingPhysics  Před 8 lety +1

      +Abdulkadir Akti
      1) If the force is not the net force then you are not able to substitute in "mass times acceleration" for "net force" and the derivation does not work. So yes, it has to be the net force.
      2) If you are referring to gravitational potential energy then the net work will include the work done by the force of gravity. If you are referring to elastic potential energy then the net work will include the work done by the force of the spring.

    you cannot cancel dx unless you give a proof why it works. you should state what calculus you do! if you work with standard analysis, dx is just a symbol, it doesn't mean anything! if you work with non-standard analysis, you should say that! most of people who watch this don't know what nonstandard analysis is ,so they don't understand why it works (me too). almost everyone does the same trick. why???? this is the question. i am not looking for trick that no one explain! i think this video is useless bc there is still question, whyyyyy????? trying to explain why it works is easier than endeavoring not to explain it!

      Think about what dx means. It means infinitesimal change in the value of x. If we are talking about a change between the same two instants in time, you can cancel the dx, because it is the same change of position during this time.

    There should be a plus constant in integration

      The constant is added when doing _indefinite_ integrals. This problem uses a _definite_ integral.

    Watching from the future, on the first line at 2:25, you can notice that (dv/dt)dx can be rewritten as (dx/dt)dv, where v = (dx/dt). Therefore you have (v)dv. I think that has a more natural flow to solving the integral wrt velocity than dv/dt = (dv/dx)(dx/dt). (And it prevents "canceling" dx which is generally not viewed favorably by mathematicians.) Just a simpler way to solve it.

      why is it not favored by mathematicians?
