wrobel's latest activity
-
wrobel replied to the thread Variations on Sacharov's problem.I must apologize, I have just looked through "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman" In this text he definitely says that he learnt this... -
wrobel replied to the thread Variations on Sacharov's problem.Feynman also said that he invented the differentiation of an improper integral to calculate it. He must have worked under the pseudonym... -
wrobel replied to the thread Undergrad Reference frames, center of rotation, etc.The composition of a translation and a rotation is written as follows $$\boldsymbol r'=\boldsymbol c+A\boldsymbol r,$$ where ##A## is an... -
wrobel replied to the thread Variations on Sacharov's problem.Nice resource but the problem https://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/info/exercises/rough_inclined_plane.html is spoiled:) Good... -
wrobel replied to the thread Correct statement about size of wire to produce larger extension.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress%E2%80%93strain_curve -
wrobel replied to the thread Correct statement about size of wire to produce larger extension.Hooke's law, by the way, does not work under large stress when the material is about to break. -
wrobel replied to the thread Distance between a Clock's hands when the distance is increasing most rapidly.looks like a problem about differentiation of a function $$f(t)=\sqrt{a_1^2+a_2^2-2a_1a_2\cos(\omega_1-\omega_2)t}$$ -
wrobel reacted to weirdoguy's post in the thread Undergrad Reference frames, center of rotation, etc with
Like.
This whole thread rotates around the point that @gen x can't see a mathematical fact about kinematics without using math. I think that... -
wrobel replied to the thread Undergrad Reference frames, center of rotation, etc.Eventually understanding is an ability of problem solving and nothing else:) -
wrobel replied to the thread Undergrad Reference frames, center of rotation, etc.provide a definition of the notion "a rigid body rotates about a point" -
wrobel replied to the thread Undergrad Reference frames, center of rotation, etc.This phrase does not make sense. -
wrobel replied to the thread Undergrad Reference frames, center of rotation, etc.I mean that one should first study kinematics and after that dynamics. Any motion is defined with respect to some frame only. So what? -
wrobel replied to the thread Undergrad Reference frames, center of rotation, etc.It is a very bad idea to throw kinematics and dynamics in the same heap -
wrobel replied to the thread Undergrad Reference frames, center of rotation, etc.I am afraid this notion is not completely formalized. Say a lab frame is an inertial frame you are sitting in and with respect to which...
