Two new videos coming up soon! Both will be related to escape velocity:
In the first one, that hopefully should be out tomorrow, you will learn how to calculate the size that would have any object if it were a black hole. The example that I took in this video is the Earth.
Do you have an idea of how large the Earth would be if, suddenly, it collapsed into a black hole? The answer is mesmerizing! Watch the video to find out. And even better, you will learn how to calculate that yourself!
The second one is more of a full lecture regarding the concept of escape velocity. In order for you to really understand what it is, we will first review the energetics of a system of two masses. By understanding the relationship between kinetic energy and potential energy of such a system, you will be able to spot what an object needs to definitely escape from a gravitational field.
To do so, we will take the example of a rocket trying to leave a planet. Finding conditions on the energies of such a system will allow us to derive a formula for escape velocity. We will then use this formula to determine the size of the Earth if it were a black hole. So, you see, the first video is kind of a teaser to the full lesson.
Moreover, for students that are actually studying this subject at school, I will add some slides at the very end of the second video with training exercises. Like this, you can be a master of the topic in your physics class!
In this video, there are many animations that I am currently building. With the limited tools I have at my disposure, it is quite head-scratching to make these animations accurate in regards to the physical reality. But I’m getting there! I expect this video to be out in a week or so.
I hope you enjoy these videos, and wish you the best!
Ciao!
