  • The title is pretty self explanatory. Decided to test out my new camera and microphone by recording a little derivation video. Because I want to do theory, these are particularly fun to make, so let me know if there are any other equations you'd like to see derived! Most importantly, work this out for yourself to see all of the pieces come together.

    Very well explained! It would be cool if you could derive the equations for circular motion too (I'm studying them on this semester and I'm having trouble on making sense of it D:)

    • @AndrewDotsonvideos

      @adambee9396 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Aren’t they the same? You just change position (x) to theta, velocity (v) to omega, and acceleration (a) for alpha. Deriving them should be the exact same.

  • @wiseacredave
    @wiseacredave 5 ปีที่แล้ว +36

    When you integrate over time, the limits should be t-initial to t-final to be consistent with having x-initial and x-final, etc. In other words t-initial is not always = 0. Your notation is okay as long as you denote t as delta t, but this obscures the fact that sometimes you need a t-initial different than zero.

    • @angelmendez-rivera351
      @angelmendez-rivera351 4 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      David Woodside No, that should not be a problem. The origin of a coordinate system x(t) vs t is completely arbitrary, so objectively speaking, there is never a reason to not let t(i) [initial time] be equal to 0. In fact, most professors encourage you to do this.

    • @dhruvmk3055
      @dhruvmk3055 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Nah. As long as x=x initial at t=0, you're fine.

    Dear Andrew, your videos are very informative and useful, but here you forgot to mention that in your calculations the acceleration a is a constant. In general acceleration could be time-dependent. If so you would have to know the time dependence a(t) before performing the integration.

  • @PanioGuitarCovers

    How did you choose the limits for the integrals and how would they have changed if you had chosen other parameters?

    • @angelmendez-rivera351
      @angelmendez-rivera351 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Robert Dewan x-final and x-initial simply stand for arbitrary limits of integration labeled by x to signify that they have units of position. t and 0 correspond to this because there is no reason for the lower bound not to be 0. t is, once again, arbitrary. It is the free parameter, after all. So, there is no choosing the bounds of integration here. They are all arbitrary.

    • @angelmendez-rivera351

      Daniel Avalos Because finding the final velocity is more useful in most contexts.

    Great video. Quick question. One of my friend thinks that he'll be able to receive a bachelor's degree in physics without a higher level of math. What course would you say is at the very least necessary?

    • @AndrewDotsonvideos
      @AndrewDotsonvideos  7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      All physics majors at my university are required to at least go up to Multi-variable Calculus and Differential Equations, and then take a 300 level math elective of their choice (Mine was Linear Algebra). This leaves you only 2 math courses shy of a minor in math which is why a lot of physics majors do that as well ( I took Real Analysis and Partial Differential Equations to get my minor). Hope this helps!

    • @angelmendez-rivera351
      @angelmendez-rivera351 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hugo Lizardi I know this comment is late, but just so you know, it is virtually impossible to study physics without at least taking multivariable calculus and differential equations, both of which have linear algebra as a prerequisite. So, it is virtually impossible to study even mid-level physics without studying high-level maths.

      @broodje8607 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      He first integrated v with respect to v so you get v^2 devided by 2 because of the reverse power rule and the he has to put in the limits of integration so you get (vf^2 - vi^2)1/2 this is the same as vf2/2 - vi2/2
