I’ve always known that the formula for the period of the pendulum wasn’t perfect due to the small angle approximation, but I never knew you could fix that with a cycloid !
I've seen the racing demonstration before, but the added understanding of where the curve comes from and how it relates to periods is an excellent expansion. Thanks, this was very informative!
Everything you say in your videos is always so easy to understand, you help make science more approachable and enjoyable for people who lack the basics. You explain it all without going too much in depth, but while still making it really understandable, and thank you a lot for that
Technically the path of point A to B on Earth is still an arc, not a straight line, since it follows the (ground elevation) curvature of the Earth. Though it could be approximated as a tangent/straight line, since your change in angle towards the center of the Earth is less than 0.01 degrees if you travel under 5 miles distance. Not to nitpick your last sentence, but obviously as the video showed, going downhill (downhill = constant negative gradient) is slower than going down a parabolic slope which also happens to go up a parabolic slope in the last half. It's just converting potential energy faster to kinetic energy, which results in a fast velocity resulting in more distance traveled over time. m*g*h = PE = KE = 1/2mv^2, where PE=100% at the top height, and KE=100% PE=0% at the bottom height.
@@APioneerInTheSeaOfStars Makes sense. The only other caveat is that a falling object would reach a given point faster due to less friction. So, are you a physicist?? 😄
@@Dozerson2 Anyone can be deemed a physicist, but I do not have a physics degree. Just a good ol' engineer that took a few physics courses. One point about what you said, "friction". Ideally, the ball going down a surface will be rolling along the surface, so friction really isn't that big of an issue. Search "rolling friction". There is very little friction, almost negligible, if a circular object rolls along a surface. There is no sliding friction on the ball. If you are talking about air friction, both balls rolling down a slope or falling through air will reach the same max speed over time because air friction becomes the dominant force stopping acceleration. It would reach "terminal velocity".

@@gustavgnoettgen Brachistochrone then. Tautochrone is used to refer different path length but giving the same time to get from A to B. Both are the same path but named differently depending on what you re looking for.
As per this video , whether you knew it earlier than us and it is now that we are knowing it , we will still meet at the same point . Ik this comment makes no sense
Well actually the path in general relativity that is the fastest is still straight. It just differs from how our intuition of straight paths works for euclidean space. Technically, all objects in free fall are on straight paths. Whether that's the earth around the sun, a ball through the air, or a satellite in orbit of earth.
@@solsystem1342 What's going on here is that the path and pace of the rolling object is a *derivative* of gravity and the form of the ramp, not a straight line (in terms of gravitationally-reshaped spacetime). But it's still intriguing to look at it in those terms. How might one characterize the path of the ball through spacetime? If gravity-"bent" space were "straightened out" might it become a straight line? Some other definable curve? I myself lack the wherewithal to understand it fully much less to express it mathematically -- but I think the intuition of @Hyperscience has merit. We live in a deep gravity-well. Our universe is invisibly skewed.
@@solsystem1342 In real terms yes, but I think for this purpose, mathematically and conceptually, one would assume Earth were at a standstill. I think that's consistent with Einstein's "man in a falling elevator" thought experiment. It would serve to isolate gravity as a factor in the shape of the object's path.
Great explanation! I kept seeing the "tautochrone problem" being mentioned in my studies of fractional calculus. Now I see a basic physics problem that naturally involves applications of "half derivatives" or "half integrals". Thanks for posting!
We had a park near our house where there was a thin worn path down into another more dense brush area of the park about 15 feet to the bottom of the depression of land/elevation. Riding down this super steep curved path was the fastest acceleration I have ever felt on a bicycle, and looking at this video, it was about the same shape. Within a matter of only a few short seconds, I was easily going 20-35 miles per hour. Maybe even more, but it was hard to tell as it was very bumpy and there was such dense vegetation. All this made it terrifying, as there was no point to safely stop or slow down without riding along the rest of the path another 100+ feet into the lower elevation level of the park. In case anyone wishes to visit this park/path and understand/visit a real world example of this, 21081 Main St NE, Aurora, OR 97002 is the address of the park.
Woa thank you!! Our teacher didn't tell this to us when we learned the pendulums!! Im sure he never thought of this. We just learned if the angle is low then they are equal!! But not more. Thank you :) so happy
Man, I am 46 years old Computer Engineer and I still learn new things in your channel!. I feel like I learned nothing in the school or I forgot everything already!. Thank you.
It is not just a coincidence that pi is roughly equal to the square root of g. An early idea for defining the meter was for it to be the length of the 2-second pendulum in the grandfather clock.
What's cool about the cycloid pendulum is it's actually a pendulum of variable length. As the string hugs the edge of the curve the length of the pendulum decreases, increasing the effective frequency at high amplitudes. As the pendulum swings down and the string unwraps from the curve, the length of the pendulum increases, decreasing the effective frequency at low amplitude. This perfectly compensates for the frequency vs amplitude relationship it so that the frequency becomes constant. Very cool!
On the way up, the string comes in contact with the cycloid, which regulates the speed. Take a closer look, you can see it in action. I think probably if you didn't start it high enough to come in contact with the cycloid, it wouldn't have any effect.
I did not know this, but in retrospect it makes sense: it’s like compound interest. Early gains have the most impact. Once the ball is moving faster at the beginning, it’s moving through the subsequent sections of track faster.
Good job bro, I really enjoy you're videos. Thank you for explaining things in a way we all can understand and not dumbing it down at the same time. Keep up the good work, you're super interesting and addicting to watch somehow lol

I really appreciate the additional information regarding the word tautochrone. I was familiar with the term brachistochrone, and am happy to learn something new.
I don't understand why anybody over the age of heck probably 14 would need to see this video it is one of the most easy concepts to understand and demonstrate throughout all of the sciences
It should probably be clarified at 2:07 that it is not _generally_ true that if you unwrap a string from a curve, then the end of the string will trace a translated version of the same curve. For example if you unwrap a circle, the point will trace a spiral, which isn't a circle. It is a remarkable property of the cycloid specifically, that if you plot the locus of a cycloid's centers of curvature for each point, you will get a copy of the original cycloid translated by (πr,-r). The evolute of a logarithmic spiral is also a congruent logarithmic spiral, but rotated rather than translated.
Great video! I remember Michael on Vsauce cooperating with Adam from mythbusters to create a track according to the brachistochrone curve. Really fascinating subject.
It's good to see the theory carried out in real life, it somehow makes you believe it more. Even though I don't think the people who write textbooks are lying, it's just much more satisfying to the primal monkey brain to see it happen indisputably with actual objects in reality. Good show as always, Mr Lab!
If I remember correctly, the pendulum formula we all learned in highschool made the small angle assumption. Hence why it doesn't hold for larger amplitudes
I actually saw this curve for the first time in one of the "vsauce" video ,a youtube channel by micheal.......and I was really amazed to see this brachistochrone curve again.....well done brother.....!!
