Resumo

TLDRThe video demonstrates the principle of conservation of mechanical energy using a 15 kg pendulum. The potential energy at the height of one meter is about 150 Joules, which converts to kinetic energy as the pendulum is released. This principle is used in applications like demolishing buildings with a wrecking ball. The presenter trusts the conservation of energy to keep them safe from harm when the pendulum swings back after being released from rest. Any failure to release the pendulum at zero speed poses a risk, as it may return higher than the original point.

    A person demonstrates the principle of conservation of mechanical energy using a 15 kg pendulum. By lifting the object 1 meter, they increase its potential energy by approximately 150 Joules, which can convert to kinetic energy if the pendulum is released and allowed to swing. This concept is similar to wrecking balls used for demolishing buildings. The speaker expresses strong belief in energy conservation, asserting that releasing the pendulum will not allow it to reach a height greater than its original point if no initial speed is given. With trust in this physical law, the speaker stands in the pendulum's path to demonstrate the pendulum should not exceed its release height if dropped with zero speed, highlighting the practical application of energy conversion principles.

  • 00:00:00
    I have here a
  • 00:00:03
    pendulum I have an object that weighs 15
  • 00:00:05
    kg and I can lift it up one meter which
  • 00:00:08
    I have done now that means I've done
  • 00:00:10
    work MGH is the work I have done believe
  • 00:00:13
    me I have increased the potential energy
  • 00:00:15
    of this object 15 * 10 is about 150 Jew
  • 00:00:20
    if I let it fall then that will be
  • 00:00:23
    converted to kinetic
  • 00:00:25
    energy if I would let it
  • 00:00:28
    swing from 1 M height and you would be
  • 00:00:31
    there and it would hit you you'd be dead
  • 00:00:34
    150 Jew is enough to kill
  • 00:00:37
    you they use these devices it's called a
  • 00:00:40
    rer ball they use them to demolish
  • 00:00:43
    buildings you lift up a very heavy
  • 00:00:46
    object even heavier than this and then
  • 00:00:49
    you let it go you swing it thereby
  • 00:00:51
    converting gravitational potential
  • 00:00:53
    energy into kinetic energy and that way
  • 00:00:57
    you can demolish a building you just let
  • 00:01:00
    it
  • 00:01:03
    hit and it breaks a building and that's
  • 00:01:06
    the whole idea of
  • 00:01:08
    wrecking so you are using then the
  • 00:01:11
    conversion of gravitational potential
  • 00:01:14
    energy to kinetic energy now I am such a
  • 00:01:20
    strong believer of the conservation of
  • 00:01:24
    mechanical energy that I am willing to
  • 00:01:28
    put my life on the line
  • 00:01:32
    if I release that bul from a certain
  • 00:01:37
    height then that bul can never come back
  • 00:01:42
    to a point where the height is any
  • 00:01:45
    larger if I release it from this height
  • 00:01:48
    and it
  • 00:01:49
    swings then when it reaches here it
  • 00:01:51
    could not be higher there is a
  • 00:01:53
    conversion from gravitational potential
  • 00:01:55
    energy to kinetic energy back to
  • 00:01:58
    gravitational potential energy and it
  • 00:01:59
    will come a stop here and when it swings
  • 00:02:01
    back it should not be able to reach any
  • 00:02:05
    higher
  • 00:02:06
    provided that I do not give this object
  • 00:02:09
    an initial speed when I stand
  • 00:02:13
    here I trust the conservation of
  • 00:02:16
    mechanical energy for
  • 00:02:19
    100% I may not trust
  • 00:02:23
    myself I'm going to release this object
  • 00:02:26
    and I hope I will be able to do it at
  • 00:02:28
    zero speed so that when it comes back it
  • 00:02:31
    may touch my chin but it may not Crush
  • 00:02:34
    my
  • 00:02:35
    chin I want you to be extremely quiet
  • 00:02:38
    because this is no joke if I don't
  • 00:02:41
    succeed in giving it zero speed then
  • 00:02:45
    this will be my last
  • 00:02:48
    lecture I will close my eyes I don't
  • 00:02:50
    want to see this so please be very
  • 00:02:55
    quiet I almost didn't sleep all
  • 00:02:58
    night three 2 1
  • 00:03:14
    zero physics works and I'm still alive
