  • Enough of this moving in straight lines business, let's go in circles! Circular motion may not be productive but it's super fun. Ferris wheels are fun. Yes they are, don't be a spoilsport. Roller coasters are fun too. And merry-go-rounds. And learning about centripetal force. Look, I don't understand why you're resisting so much, we are talking about a freaking amusement park. Fine, be that way, I'll go by myself. You stay here and learn this math!

    Hi Professor Dave, thanks for all the great videos. I think that I spotted a slight mistake at 2:55, where you say that centripetal acceleration is inversely proportional to r. However, tangential velocity is v*r, therefore tangential velocity squared/radius will equal omega squared times r, so they are linearly related.

    How can a decrease in radius increase the centrepetal acceleration when the tangential speed would decrease?plz help i am confused

    • @carultch
      @carultch Před 2 lety

      You are confused about this, because you are losing track of what value you are holding constant during this time. The exact term you hold constant, will affect your answer, of what a change in radius does to the centripetal acceleration.
      For instance, if you hold angular speed constant, then tangential speed would be proportional to radius. Accounting for this fact will allow us to conclude that centripetal acceleration will decrease with a decrease in radius. The equation v^2/r becomes omega^2*r instead. Hold omega constant, and centripetal acceleration is proportional to radius. You would see this if the object were something that we place on a rigid body with a constant rotating speed, and we are choosing where to put it on this rotating body. Like placing a coin on a turntable, and where you put the coin.
      By contrast, if you hold tangential speed constant, and change the radial position (or change the center position so that the radius also changes), then decreasing radius will increase centripetal acceleration in an inverse proportionality. An example of where you see this, is if you take two turns in a car at the same speed, but different turning radii. The speed is given to be the same, and the radius changes because the center of the circle relative to the car changes position. You have to steer tighter to navigate the curve with less radius of curvature. You will also notice that if you turn too tightly, your wheels will skid and you won't be able to turn. This is why you have to slow down for tight turns.

  • @BiancaDianaT
    @BiancaDianaT Před 3 lety +1

    STATIC friction from the road as the car navigates a road? I'm a bit confused about why it's not kinetic friction. The car is already is motion, I think? Interesting

    • @carultch
      @carultch Před 2 lety

      Due to the fact that the wheels rotate, the point of contact between the tires and the road becomes an instantaneous center of zero velocity for each wheel. This is a point where the wheel that is in both translation and rotation, is locally at rest. The force of static friction prevents the tire from skidding, so that the car only moves according to the direction set up by the various axes of rotation of the wheels.
      Static friction enables the force of traction, that allows the drive wheels to propel the car forward, and allows the steering wheels to change the direction of the car on a flat road. It also works with the braking of the car. The kinetic friction occurs between the brake drum and shoe, so that it doesn't have to occur between the tire and road. If your brakes lock up, your car will skid, and steering won't let you control it. This is why we have ABS brakes, so that the wheel-road remain in static friction, and the kinetic friction is kept inside the brakes. In pre-2000 vehicles that didn't have ABS brakes, you would have to manually pump your brake pedal to get the same result.

  • @josephjoe9525
    @josephjoe9525 Před 4 lety

    Waittt so a lower tangential speed means that an object travelled only for a short distance, then why is it that the centripetal acceleration increases as it gets closer to the center? I'm kinda confused

    • @carultch
      @carultch Před 2 lety

      If you fix the tangential speed between examples, closer to the center means a greater centripetal acceleration. It is inversely proportional to the radius, a=v^2/r.
      If you fix the period of rotation between examples, which is equivalent to fixing the angular speed, closer to the center means less centripetal acceleration. It is proportional to the radius, a=omega^2*r.

    Is Change in momentum = centripetal force ?
    What is change in momentum conceptual based?
    momentum is centrifugal force?
    Thanks sir give ans please not clearly understand sir

    • @carultch
      @carultch Před 2 lety

      Rate of change in momentum = net force
      When the rate of change in momentum is entirely perpendicular to the velocity, that rate of change in momentum is the force that causes centripetal acceleration.
      Centrifugal force is a fictitious force, that is a consequence of looking at this problem from within a reference frame in circular motion, rather than from the inertial reference frame. What it really is, is a body's tendency to proceed in straight line, reacting to a force that attempts to accelerate it inward, and assuming (incorrectly) that it is due to a force that attempts to pull it outward. That apparent force attempting to pull it outward, is the centrifugal psuedoforce.

    does the mass of an object affect the period?

    • @carultch
      @carultch Před 2 lety

      The period is a kinematics quantity. It is a mathematical description of the motion. Factors like forces, mass, energy, and momentum are not considered when we consider the definition of period for uniform circular motion.
      If you want to know whether mass affects the period of a condition of uniform circular motion, you need to define what happens to the other kinetics quantities. If you make constant the magnitude of the tension in string that holds it in circular motion, mass will affect the period of the circular motion. If the kind of force that holds it in circular motion comes in proportion to the mass, then the period is independent of the mass (for instance, circular orbits around an astronomical body of significantly greater mass).

    Hello Professor can you tell me why the acceleration is always towards center ?

    • @carultch
      @carultch Před 2 lety +1

      There is a component of acceleration that is parallel to the velocity. There is a component of the acceleration that is perpendicular to the velocity. The component that is parallel to the velocity causes a change in speed. The component perpendicular to velocity causes a change in direction.
      If it is not directed toward the center, it will not move in a path around that particular circle of curvature.

      @swiftsetrider4543 Před rokem

      Nice explanation, considering it actually helped me with a certain problem. Might I add the piece I noticed that helped me out with it.
      The only change in tangential velocity for uniform circular motion is in the direction, while we know the magnitude is constant. As you say, the vertical component of the acceleration controls causes change in direction, while the horizontal component causes change in magnitude. No change in magnitude means there’s zero horizontal acceleration, which means the total centripetal acceleration must just be the vertical acceleration.

  • @cartoonic6039
    @cartoonic6039 Před 7 měsíci

    I have a very simple but intuitive question.
    Why doesnt the object collapse into the point.
    Since the centripetal force is an acceleration is increasing with time it should get to a point where its high enough to pull the object towards its centre.
    For example:
    The electron in an atom if not for its stationary state it should be pulled towards the nucleus since the proton and nucleus attract but what keeps it moving in a circular path is the fact that they have fixed energy called stationary States so they can't lose energy.
    But objects in the real world dont have fixed energy level so what keeps them in circular path?
    Another example is that if we change the mechanics occurring on the body interns of force, The centripetal force will be the F=m×a but converting the objects tangential velocity into force its F=0 since it has no acceleration.Resolving the 2 forces the object is supposed to move towards the center so why does it still moves circular
