    i’ve heard venus technically qualifies as an ocean planet under some definitions since the carbon dioxide in the air is supercritical at the surface

    • @rlhugh
      @rlhugh  หลายเดือนก่อน +27

      Yes thats right: the CO2 is in supercritical state. As far as whether that makes it an 'ocean planet', it's a matter of semantics I feel. SCF combines aspects of both gas and liquid. It expands to fill the available space like a gas, but can dissolve things somewhat like a liquid. On the whole, SCF I feel mostly acts like a dense gas. I give some presentation about it here th-cam.com/video/_73M518zAUw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WcTeaiDXttNjRLWa&t=556 The Venus SCF CO2 is much less dense than water. So you wouldn't be able to swim/fly in it. You'd still fall downwards, and walk around on whatever you land on, albeit fairly slowly.

      Yeah I wonder if the "let's pretend it won't compress" didn't actually screw up the simulation. If we let the ball compress keeping the spherical profile (or just shrink it magically), the mass would be preserved, but area affecting drag would be reduced significantly.

    The ball won't collapse if you inflate it to the same gauge pressure (so 90 bar more absolute pressure than on Earth).
    I'm not sure what pressure and gas you're assuming it's filled with for the buoyancy figure. Anything at one bar absolute would be fairly buoyant if the ball didn't collapse (but it will at one bar absolute). At 90 bar, Earth air will at least be somewhat buoyant, but with a partial pressure of oxygen inside of 18 bar, and the high temperatures, the ball is likely to burn violently on the inside until it bursts. That leaves local air at 90 bar, which won't be buoyant

    • @rlhugh
      @rlhugh  หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Good point about oxygen from the air inside the ball causing the ball to burn 🙌 Note that I'm calculating buoyancy based only on the volume and the density of the gas displaced. The mass of the air inside the basketball, I'm calculating as a separate 'gravity' force. Using SCF CO2 inside the ball increases the mass by 50%.

    Regarding the basketball vs mortar? could the difference in apogees be because of the launch speed? You took the launch speed to be 450km/h for a mortar shell, which with its heavier weight means it has more momentum. But surely if we launched our indestructible basketball out of the mortar we would expect far greater speeds than that of the much heavier mortar shell? I noticed you assumed the same speed at launch for both. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Nice video though.

    • @rlhugh
      @rlhugh  หลายเดือนก่อน

      I am defining the muzzle velocity as an invariant. For serving machine, it is set to 40m/s. For mortar it is set to 200m/s. Of course in reality the ball would just disintegrate immediately, and if it didn't, the drag inside the cannon would be very high. But I'm assuming we are adding enough explosive to make muzzle velocity invariant, and I'm assuming indestructible basketball. Great question. Thank you!

    the pressure differential betwen the 1atm inside the ball vs the 92 atm outside wouldnt make it buoyant? im not entirely aware of the dynamics that are at play here, but i think its force would be enough to couteract the gravity.

      Thank you for your question.
      The mass of the rubber etc making up the non-air part of the basketball is 615grams. The air at 1.5atm inside the ball weighs 13grams. The mass of the SCF CO2 displaced by the volume of the ball is 471grams. For the ball to float the total mass of the rubber etc and the air (615grams + 13grams) would have to be less than the mass of the SCF CO2 displaced (471grams).
      I'm assuming a ball radius here of 0.12m, giving a volume of 4/3 pi r^3 = 0.0072m3. You can multiply this by the density of air at 1.5atm(1.5 * 1.2kg/m3), and SCF CO2 (65kg/m3), to check the masses of the air and the SCF CO2 respectively.
      Now if the material making up the ball didn't have mass - e.g. a balloon that magically doesn't collapse either - then yes, the air at 1.5atm would basically be a vacuum, relative to the 90atm CO2, and the balloon would float, you are right.

    Is the basketball's density measured as if it was filled with air from Earth's atmosphere & pressure?

    • @rlhugh
      @rlhugh  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes, exactly. Filling it with SCF CO2 would raise the mass goes up by 0.471kg, from 0.635kg to 1.105kg. Density will increase accordingly. The reason I used the earth surface density is because I feel that when we think of 'a basketball', we are thinking of the earth one, filled with 80:20 N2:O2 mix, at STP. There's an (unlisted) video of what happens with SCF CO2 here though th-cam.com/video/p-bKqXXrO8E/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=RLHugh (I'm not sure why this unlisted video says 0.986kg 🤔 That might be a typo 😅 )

      ​@@rlhugh Your videos about PPO were very helpful to me, especially the entropy one. Because I was working on a continuous environment and I just couldn't make PPO learn. According to some papers and cleanrl implementation, continuous environments seem to not require entropy term for PPO reward. This might be true for MuJoCo environments but many other continuous environments in fact do require it, and your video saved me quite some time :) looking forward to the side channel!

      Yup, magical suit. I figured it's more fun to use 'magic' to fix a bunch of things, whilst leaving other things to vary, than to have to deal with everything at once, which would be like ... phd level amount of work perhaps... (Ditto for the mortar too by the way. Like, muzzle velocity would be nowhere near what it is on earth).

    • @rlhugh
      @rlhugh  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Liquids and gases both do not have a fixed shape, and both yield easily to pressure. Liquids are nearly incompressible. Gases fill the space available. On the surface of venus, there is a third state 'supercritical fluid'., or SCF. You can think of SCF as basically like a very dense gas.

    The ball would most likely fall at the same speed as on Earth since Venus and Earth has similar mass

    • @ToadRoadLP
      @ToadRoadLP หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Gravity might be the same but die to the atmosphere (drag and buoyancy) it falls much slower. The carbon dioxide is much denser there than our air. Same with water and air on earth, same planet, same mass but water is much denser

    • @rlhugh
      @rlhugh  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Gravity is similar yes (8.87m/s2 on Venus; 9.8m/s2 on Earth). However the drag and buoyancy on Venus are much higher because of the vastly different atmospheric density (65kg/m3 on Venus vs 1.2kg/m3 on Earth).
