Find average velocity of a sphere which expands and moves

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the average velocity of a moving and expanding spherical shell, where participants debate the correct approach to the problem. It is clarified that the expansion velocities do not cancel out unless considering the center of mass, leading to confusion about the kinetic energy calculations. Participants emphasize that energy is a scalar quantity, and the average kinetic energy cannot simply be derived from squaring the average velocity. The conversation also touches on the complexity of using integrals and the importance of symmetry in simplifying the problem. Ultimately, the need for a correct mathematical framework to solve the problem is highlighted.

Almost. The m/2 should be a factor of the whole, and the factor 2 you have in front only applies to the sin term.

Yes, that's good, but you don't need to do an integral at all this way. When you expand the terms, all references to theta should disappear, so all the terms are constants.

Ok,I did it and I found what I found before.
In post 31 I guess m(v^2+v'^2)

You mean, you got the same result as integrating around a circle? Good.
 
  • #59
Yeah

Why don't you guys just not writing the equation

I don't understand your question. What is it you want me to do? Seemed to me you had your answer.
 
  • #63
Thats answer describes ring shell I want sphere shell.Whatever you told I can't find the solution cause I am still learning integral and I don't get any classic mechanic lesson (this is not a very hard question ( ring shell))but I don't know any idea about sphere coordinate system and the other things.You tried to tell me answer you want to help me but I am in high school and I am not learning so much detail.I got this project cause I thought I can do that.But I stucked here and I lost a week so I need full equation of sphere kinetic eneregy.I need to move on

The equation you got by combining two diametrically opposite points solves both. The dependence on theta canceled out, making the integrand a constant for a given r. Integration is then just a matter of multiplying by the mass - you no longer care whether it's a spherical shell or a ring. All that matters is that it can be expressed as pairs of opposite points, all at the same radius.

This must be the true answer.It may be complicated but it must be true.

I believe that is the correct double integral for a spherical shell, and as before it will simplify greatly such that the trig terms will obviously vanish when integrated.
(But it isn't any more correct than the much simpler symmetry approach.)

I ll do the integration and I ll going to tell the answer

I had trouble reading your attachment at post #65. In view of what you say now, I studied it again, and it looks like you have r where I would expect to see v.

Ok yeah yeah you are right.Is that all thing somy equatipn is true If I change r to v ?

There are some more errors. The m at the front should be ##\rho r^2##, where ##\rho## is the density. There should be a factor ##\sin(\theta)## inside the integral (or maybe it's ##\sin(\theta)##, whichever goes from 0 to ##\pi##). This comes from the polar expression for an area element.

Better, but that 2π^2 term shouldn't be there. Previously, every term had a factor of either v or v', so that should remain true. Instead, I would expect to see a factor π throughout. Please post all your steps.

We're in different timezones, I'm sure. But I did reply to your post #72. Can you not see my reply?

Hi I see your post but I couldn't answer cause I am in holiday now and here time is 07:20 am. In this post you said ##\sin(\theta)## will be inside the integral but theta goes 0 to pi so here I am confused and I ll going to write pr^2 instead of m ?

In your integrand you have trig functions of phi and theta. But you must have put the area element as ##m d\theta d\phi##. The area element should have been ##\rho r^2 \sin(\theta)d\theta\phi##. After simplifying the rest of the integrand, you still have one term left that has trig functions in it. You must multiply the sin from the element with this before integrating it.
This will be a lot easier to explain if you post all your steps as typed equations. Please stop posting images of working, they're too hard to read and too hard to make comments about.

I made a mistake in there.Can you write the correct one and send me like this url then I can work on it

Quarlep said:
http://www.HostMath.com/Show.aspx?IsAsc=True&Code=\int_{0}^{\pi}\int_{0}^{2\pi}(v\cos\theta\sin\phi+v')^2+(v\sin\theta\sin\phi)^2+(v\cos\phi)^2+\int_{0}^{\pi}pr^2\sin\thetad\theta\phi look
##\int_{0}^{\pi}\int_{0}^{2\pi}(v\cos\theta\sin\phi+v')^2+(v\sin\theta\sin\phi)^2+(v\cos\phi)^2+\int_{0}^{\pi}pr^2\sin\theta d\theta\phi##
That equation makes no sense syntactically. It should read
##\int_{\theta=0}^{\pi}\int_{\phi=0}^{2\pi}((v\cos\theta\sin\phi+v')^2+(v\sin\theta\sin\phi)^2+(v\cos\phi)^2)\rho r^2\sin\theta d\theta d\phi##

Yeah I noticed that pr^2 must be inside the integral I noticed it after I wrote the equation

Can you check the integral again I think there's a wrong something

Wrong in my version? I don't see anything - please be more specific.

It's a double integral. Have you not dealt with double integrals before?

Can dtheta and dphi change sides

Quarlep said:

Do you mean, can they be in either order? Yes. It's the order of the integral signs that defines the order of integration (inside first).
 
  • #92
I am in holiday I am not working in computer so I can't write all steps to you right now.We will do first integral (the one which is inside) that's phi but there wrote dtheta so I asked you this

Then use my symmetry method. It gets rid of the trig terms and makes the integral trivial.

I was banned so I couldn't answer over a 10 days I found 4p(pi)r^2((v'^2)+v^2)
