Newton's 2nd Law (8 of 21) Calculate Acceleration w/o Friction; Inclined Plane, One Mass

Рет қаралды 94,426

10 жыл бұрын

Shows you how to calculate the acceleration of a mass as it slides down a frictionless inclined plane. The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force applied to the object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. The second law can also be stated in terms of an object's changing momentum, such that the rate of change of momentum of an object is directly proportional to the net force applied and the change in momentum is in the direction of the net force.

This helped me immensely, my Physics teacher tends to overexplain and I tend to overthink, this is simple enough for me to retain it!

I remember this from my A Level maths back in 1980 I worked it out then played the video. Used it a lot in circular motion of mass on a string: mv^2/R = T-mgCos(theta) where R is radius, T is tension. Loved Applied Maths

Great video man! I was doing a physics problem involving forces transferring through gears and needed to determine the best gear configuration in a inclined plane scenario. I had forgot how to calculate the resulting acceleration, so I came to your video! I didn't need that info to solve it, but I wanted to calculate just for the pleasure of it hahahah. It was really helpful. Keep up the great work!

Hello Brian, when the problem did not specify in what direction the block is going to slide from an inclined plane, should I always assume that it would slide to the east direction?

@stepbystepscience 7 жыл бұрын

If there is no friction then the mass will always slide down the inclined plane. If there is friction it will either slide down the inclined plane or if the friction force is greater then the force down the plane it will not move. I explain this concept in the following video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b5pdlLmg3rS3oY0.html

So when you write MG I use FG and I was just plugging in my force of gravity where you put MG and it worked until the end when you wrote out the equation of what AX = then you canceled out the M of the MG and I got lost I have this physics paper I’m doing last minute and I just can’t figure out the correct equations when using terms like Force of gravity or the forces of acceleration and applied forces it’s just becoming confusing

@@stepbystepscience One mower was totaled, but I'm happy no one got hurt. Mowers can be replaced. We will be buying a longer trailer soon to stop the friction less angle acceleration these mowers went through. I knew the mowers went faster then the truck, your video gave me the math needed to solve the how. 2 ft pothole X 4x8 trailer X 15mph x 12 to 19 degrees= two mowers @ 280lbs flying. I'm sure my math is wrong but seeing Newton's laws at work priceless.

if you have the line mg going straight through the two parallel lines you can prove they are similar through AAA since we know its a right angle triangle, and we can show that one other their other angles are equal through the properties of a line cutting through 2 parallel lines, the last angles must also be equal.

And then declares the "normal" direction. I beg your pardon but you might define normal for us.... And explain what it means......
