Python Physics: Modeling a Bowling Ball Landing on a Spring
Переглядів 80114 днів тому
YES! I made a calculator mistake at one point. It gets fixed later. A bowling ball has a mass of 1.5 kg and is dropped from a height of 2 meters onto a vertical spring with a spring constant of 1000 N/m. How much does the spring compress during the impact? In this case, we can solve it three different ways. First, assume the compression is small compared to the drop (ignore gravitational potent...
Python Physics: Modeling the Wolf and Hare Problem

A wolf has a speed of 4 m/s and is chasing a hare moving at 3 m/s. If the wolf always aims towards the hare, what path will the wolf take? One way to answer this question is to model the motion in python - so that's what I did. Here is the python code trinket.io/glowscript/fd55f5c589

    I'm a physicist. For numerical results, I use an RPN calculator. I do have an HP-15C Collector's edition, but I prefer the clones from SwissMicros (they have a better keyboard, IMO), which is my standard (but it's expensive). There's also the HP-35S, which is a good one, but has some quirks (mostly the font they used, which makes it hard to read the comma and other things, plus some functions which do not work as expected in complex mode). If I need more, that is, graphing or CAS, I still have an HP50g (which is GREAT). Another one I can recommend is the HP Prime. It still has an RPN mode, but it doesn't quite work well. But the CAS and graphing part are spectacularly good. The software has some issues, which probably won't get fixed, since HP doesn't have a team anymore that can support and update it (such as the CAS using lower case x as default variable, the graph part using upper case X. So you cannot easily copy'n'paste a function from one to the other. This might be a requirement for schools to prevent cheating, though.) SwissMicros makes some clones of older HP RPN. The DM-42 is a clone of the HP-42 with updated software using 34 (!) (in words THIRTY-FOUR) digits. It's a beast! But they are expensive (the DM-15L, clones of the HP-15c, cost CHF 135 plus S&H).

    In high jump you have to move your centre of mass over the bar (as well as the rest of your body), so from that point of view the idea she jumped 3.5 metres high is ridiculous. The women's world record in high jump is 2.10 m and the record holder's height is 1.80 m. Assuming her centre of mass is at 0.9 m, she would have jumped 1.2 m. So the 2.6 m at 1.4 m (0.7 m CoM height making it a 1.9 m jump) is impressive but without a doubt supported by the floor.

    As a mechanical engineer, I was puzzling over how Ms. Biles could leap so high so thank you for quantifying this, Rhett. (You are a youtube treasure, in my opinion.) As my family and I watched the gymnastics competitions and the 12' numbers were being shown, I was wondering if the gymnasts somehow benefit from the springiness of the floor. Then again, as the other respondent thus far has noted, high jumpers slightly exceed the vertical leap of the gymnasts without any possible floor springiness. Any thoughts?

    Does the centrifugal force acting outwards on the vehicle, due to angular velocity/acceleration, act parallelly along the inclined plane (parallelly opposing the frictional force) or does it act just parallel to the x-axis ? If it is the former, wouldn't that force need to be resolved as well ?

    So I know the basic force formula, but how would you figure out the force of an object moving at a constant speed hitting another object that isn't moving? Say a car traveling at 60mph hitting a wall? Would you have to use the deceleration as "a" in the formula? Or is there a way to calculate it with just speed?

    Take zero dimensions and define it as a point. Take one dimension and call it a joint between two points. Two versions of a second dimension: the first is joints between a third point and the second is the direction between two points. Begins to explode into silliness when you then try to define a third dimension including direction and even direction's inverse.

    I can't give this video a thumb up. For years I've been telling my students to always write down the units as well as the numerical values. s != sqrt(0.06), but s = sqrt(0.06) m. One of the reasons I gave was that s is a length so it has units of lengths but the the right side of the "equation" there is just a number. And that can't be equal. A quantity with dimension of length, for instance, is never equal to (=) a number. Second, and more import reason, if you've made any mistakes you can check your equation using the units. Whatever is on the right must be equal to what's on the left. So write down your units and than make sure that the dimension on both sides is the same. Problems like 7:20 can easily be avoided. which is particularly important in an exam. So, videos like this destroy in 30 minutes what I try to fix for years.

    I believe keeping the mistake is beneficial. First, evaluate your answer at the end by asking, 'Does this make sense or fall within an acceptable range?' If not, calmly review your units and check your calculator. Once you realize the mistake was due to a calculator error, it's easy to correct it. This approach isn't just for physics; learning how to THINK and ANALYZE is more important than merely solving a problem. This process mirrors the scientific method: asking a question, conducting an experiment, and evaluating the results. I didn't fully understand this until about two years after my first physics class because I was focused solely on finding a solution. BTW that Vpython program is really sick! My Physics 1 and 2 course used Vpython as well! I could not have programed that as fast as you like wow that was impressive!

    Let d = initial distance between them, W = speed of Wolf, H = speed of Hare. The time it takes the wolf to capture the hare is given by average of i) time when they move towards the other [d/(W+H)], and ii) time when they move away from the other [d/(W-H)]. For d= 15m, W= 4.5 m/s, H=3m/s, we get t = 0.5(15/7.5 + 15/1.5) = 0.5(12), so t = 6 seconds. Note: equation for time of capture is only valid if the initial velocities are perpendicular.
