    when i looked at this tutorial... the thought came to my mind was...
    "if i had such video 20 years back" learning would have been more easy and interesting.. i have always loved physics
    :)
    nice job..i hope kids of this generation make ample use of such great videos.

  • @DrPhysicsA
    @DrPhysicsA  Před 11 lety +6

    Yes. That is Newton's first law: a body continues in its state of rest or uniform motion unless acted on by an external force. So if no friction - and assuming the ground was flat - the ball would just continue to roll along the ground at uniform velocity since no forces would be acting in the horizontal direction.

    This massively helped me tonnes, I'm resitting AS but I found your channel literally days before the exam! Gutted was an understatement. There's a question type bothering me at the moment with projectiles, where the horizontal range is extended by the height of the drop being longer on the second side of the parabola. If you or anyone else can help it would be immensely appreciated.
    There are 3 parts to the question, a) and b) I have covered, it's c)
    An Athlete is performing the long jump.
    Horizontal Velocity= 8 M/S
    Vertical Velocity= 2.8 M/S
    a) Show that the total time the athlete spends in air is around 0.6s (assuming his centre of gravity is at the same height as it was at take off)
    b) Calculate the horizontal distance jumped by the athlete.
    c) In reality, when the athlete lands his centre of gravity is 50cm lower than its position at take off, calculate the extra horizontal distance this allows the athlete to jump.

  • @DrPhysicsA
    @DrPhysicsA  Před 9 lety +7

    For Jake Cosgrove: This would be for example if the trajectory were to go up and then over a cliff so the projectile ends up lower than it started. The equations still work as long as your signs are consistent. Up = positive and down = negative. So for example the net vertical distance change is negative.

    As others have said, in the SUVAT equations each one misses one of the 5 terms. Generally, the question you are asked to solve will enable you to determine which one to use. You will be given some variables and asked to find another. Find the SUVAT equations which covers that group.

    One bit that might confuse is that the launch angle resulting in the same range applies to any 'complementary angles' like 30 and 60, but not to others (45 degrees gives you a longer range, and 90/2=45 so it is its own complementary; but 20 and 40 for example would have different ranges)

    As the projectile describes the arc it has a horizontal and vertical component to its velocity. The horizontal component does not change. The vertical component gets smaller as the height above ground increases. So the tangent of the angle will decrease.

    Not if you are talking about each being the same range (ie horizontal distance) from the source. The reason is that time taken is determined by the horizontal component of the velocity which doesn't change (since there is no horizontal force acts on it).
