How far can we throw a ball on other worlds?

  • New video just dropped! Well, it was thrown first. For maximum range, throw at 45 degrees... on Pluto.

    Pluto is the best place for Olympic Games, at least in athletics ))

    There will absolutely be sports arenas/stadiums on the moon, and it will be awesome, but what keeps coming back to me in daydreams is the thought of seeing how dogs, cats and horses will act, when we have enough habitat space to start taking them up there.
    (and obviously this will have to wait until we solve the problem of bone and muscle loss in low-g environments, probably with some kind of drug or gene therapy).
    Can you imagine how far those guys could leap and bound in mars or lunar gravity, with bodies evolved for Earth?
    Some of my favorite sci-fi stories include things like entire craters on the moon domed over; miles and miles of habitable space, with forests and parks and lakes---I want to see it happen. I want to see people dance and play there.
    C'mon, let's go.

      As the world we have now would be incomprehensible, more or less, to everyone from 500 years ago, so will the worlds that we create but beyond our current imagination. Of course we have the "climate change filter" to contend with. Life is sharpening the blade of natural selection, at our mistaken request.

    So, to make a homerun on Pluto you just need to send the ball out to space

  • @byronnottingham1360

    Actually, for maximal distance the ball shouldn't leave your hand at 45 degrees, but should be at the angle the ball would have been traveling if thrown at 45 degrees at ground height. So the optimal angle depends on how far your hand is from the ground and how fast you throw it, but it will be slightly less than 45 degrees.

    • @KarlHerzog
      @KarlHerzog Před rokem

      How does that work exactly? 45 degrees from your hand relative to the ground is the same as from the floor relative to the ground

    How come Earth, Venus, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune have almost similar values of parameters even though having vast difference in masses ? I thought heavier bodies meant stronger gravity
    Btw love your amazing work !!

      Don't forget that gravity depends from the distance from center of mass... ;)

    • @drslyone
      @drslyone Před 2 lety +1

      Another way to look at it using d as the average density of the planet:
      g ~ M/R^2 ~ d×R^3/R^2 = d×R
      And Earth has a very high d, which helps compensate for the smaller R.

    • @williamwarren7384
      @williamwarren7384 Před 2 lety +3

      g = GM/r^2. So, yes, mass has an effect, but radius of planet/moon has a larger effect.

    • @Cruz0e
      @Cruz0e Před 2 lety

      it's not just a question of gravity, atmosphere density is important too!
      I really doubt you can throw a ball on jupiter (there is no even surface, so "where" do you throw it?) ...
      on Jupiter its like throwing ball underwater
      [edit] never mind, I didn't see "assume no air resistance"
      [edit2] well, I don't want to be picky but air only exists on earth, other planets have "atmosphere", so they have "atmosphere resistance" so my statement is still valid

    What factors is this taking into account? Atmosphere? Gravity?

  • @SucramRenrut
    @SucramRenrut Před 2 lety

    This could have easily been based on the furthest you can actually throw a ball on earth, I.e., 100mph at the actual optimal angle considering ball spin and air resistance. That would have been cool. As it is this is basically useless lines.

    • @gturner38
      @gturner38 Před 2 lety +2

      It's not useless at all since it shows the impact of the difference in the gravitational pull on the various planets. If you want to include ball spin and air resistance, you now have to factor in what kind of ball, how much spin, where on the planet you are throwing from and it still is no more useful as it will never be actually applied anywhere. It couldn't even be applied on Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, or Neptune as those planet have no surface from which to throw or for the ball to land on.

    "Assumes no air resistance" ? Air only exists on earth, other planets have different atmospheres, not air.
