Classical Mechanics | Lecture 1

(September 26, 2011) Leonard Susskind gives a brief introduction to the mathematics behind physics including the addition and multiplication of vectors as well as velocity and acceleration in terms of particles.
This course is the beginning of a six course sequence that explores the theoretical foundations of modern physics. Topics in the series include classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, theories of relativity, electromagnetism, cosmology, and black holes.

    711,000 people viewed this and learned at least a little bit in a very short time. It was a free class taught by an extremely educated man. Imagine the world we would live in if we had this kind of access to every class

    Notes about lecture: conservation law conserved quantaty allowable laws of physics, allowable rules 25:40 non-allowable law (in classical physics) can't retrodict the past (opposite of predict) non reversable if reversed, unpredictive (don't know this or that comes next) 29:20 predictive one way, not retrodivtive other way not reversable, "I" don't call it irreversable 30:10 classical physics doesn't allow probability conflicts with the rules of classical mechanics quantum mechanics are not deterministic ambiguity in knowledge of initial condition, so from this statistics in classical mechanics despite deterministic 33:30 how precise do you know the initial condition, this determins how far you can predict the future, example three day weather forcast other way around, if you know how far you want to predict, then you can determine how exact you need to know the initial condition 35:50 allowable, if every state has one incoming and one outgoing arrow next example: point particle(s) moving in space 37:30 first some preliminary mathematics vectors, coordinate systems coordinate system: describing space quantitatively space with three dimensions/coordinates but we are perfectly free to think of systems higher dimensioned or lower dimensioned 38:10 we are interested in describing the basic pricipals, so we don't have to restrict ourselves to specific examples a particle can move in one dimension, it can move in five dimensions, but for now we use three dimensions 39:30 three coordinates, doesn't matter where we put the origin, but it's easiest to put it at the (? 0 location) the three axis are mutually perpendicular label e.g, x, y, z or x1,x2, x3 40:00 still ambiguity about the rotation of the axis, which direction they go in fixing the origin, we also have to fix the orientation of the x,y,z axis theres a convention, right handed coordinate system, if you pick x and y, still need to decide is z pointing in the blackboard or out of it, we settle at right hand, x thumb, y inex finger, then z middle finger points out of the board towards us this is the right hand rule another convention, for distance we choose units 41:50 point is labled by x,y,z, thats also how we describe a particle 43:10 what is a vector has both length and direction, for example a position of a point, relative to it' origin, magnitude is the distance, and it has a direction don't think of a vector of being located anywhere 43:55 vector is the same, no matter where it is drawn in space, doesn't need to be drawn in space vector labled by bar on top, more precise a little arrow it could e.g. be velocity, it could be acceleration, it could be an electronic field it's got, length/magnitude, and it's gotndirection 47:55 (see formula) length equals square root the sum of squares of its components adding vectors, multiplying vectors by numbers 53:30 VectA+VectB=VectC VectA*VectB=AMagnit.*BMagnitude*cos(winkel feda) "the calculated dot product" the product of two vectors is not a vector, it's a number 1:00:00 we can display the dot product in component form VecA*VecB=Ax*Bx+Ay*By+Az*Bz, you can prove this with a little bit if trigonometry VectA*VectA=AMagnt.*AMagnit. 1:08:40 The velocity is the time derivative of the position Dot means derivative with respect to time (so this does not have to be writtenover and over again) Velocity is x of i dot (x1, x2, x3 for the coordinates) 1:13:50 acceleration is derivative of velocity or second derivative of xi, so it's written x with 2 dots X - position V - velocity a - acceleration r-Vector for radius, positiin vector 1:16:00 Formula of an object falling in gravitational field with constant acceleration, xt=a+bt+ct2 uniformly accelerated particle, that has acceleration 2c 1:18:00 Circular motion x+y achsis, the angle increases linearly feda=omega*t 2Pi/omega=period omega is the angular frequency X=cos(feda), y=sin(feda) derivatives of trigonometric functions velocityX=-omega*sin(omega)t angle between velocity and position? more on velocity, acceleration, calculated ways for this shown

    I remember watching videos like these before college, which definitely kindled a passion for physics and math deep inside me. Then I also started reading advanced books, which were not even part of the course syllabus, for example the famous series of books published by Lifshitz and Landau. Among other things, I published the step-by-step solutions to many of the classical physics problems in the first book "Mechanics" in an online course on Udemy (called: "Multivariable Calculus and Classical Physics problems"), which deals with the mathematics and physics of rigid bodies, non-inertial systems, and much more. This is to say that videos like these can be very helpful in inspiring youngsters to appreciate physics.

    Thank you Leonard and Stanford for this. The extras and insights mean a lot. You could lean this stuff from a Dover reprint, but learning it on a trajectory towards Scrodinger and company really helps one focus on what counts. I have been able to make quantum work for a long time, but I find myself returning to the roots over and over again to regain a sense of what I'm actually doing. I think lecture series like this are invaluable for contributing towards a future in which a significant subset of us understand what the world we can make claims about actually us.

    The point of using modulo arithmetic is that you don't even need to assign value 6 on the dice to 0, because 0, 6, 12, etc. are considered the "same" element (they belong to same equivalency class).

    Time in nature might not actually be the abstract of perceiving it as going back or forward to actual events but instead are actually the observable chronological movements of objects that are speeding up or slowing down "DEPENDING" on the level(amount) of gravity and perhaps G-force that's constricting or not constricting the atoms that gives the "OBSERVABLE CHRONOLOGICAL MOVEMENT" we all see around us

    Yes, but perhaps the world is full of people who do not have the same grasp or perspective. Plus, one can never over emphasize the basics. This is what separates great teachers from ordinary ones. I find that a lot of the students brush through the basics and find later that they do not have a deep understanding. The concepts of state/phase space are actually not as simple and are so critical in understanding a lot of the world, it is worth spending some time on. He is a great teacher!

    +loc tran Thanks. Honestly, I prefer not to read a textbook. I am neither looking to pursue a career in physics nor knowledge of physics required for my job; I am just curious about theoretical physics. So, I wanted to know if I can get by with just watching the lectures. I am willing to put pen to the paper, though. I did calculus based physics in high school & for a quarter in college long time back, and I consider my knowledge of physics & calculus still pretty good. BTW, lot of reviews of Landau & Lifshitz on Amazon state that it is not a beginner's book. A book by Georg Joos was recommended instead.

    +potugadu Totally right! Landau is horrible even for the ones who study physics =)), it rather be a doc for reviewing when you've already cover all the stuff, I think. If you want to dig (but not too deep) in the physics, Taylor's or Thornton & Marion's would also be a good option. Or you can wait until the Edx have this course. It's well-fitted to those who prefer self-study, especially to study without reading textbook. :)

    loc tran Thanks for recommending Taylor's book. Read reviews that it is a perfect book for self study. An edx/online course on theoretical physic will be great for learning with some structure & discipline, and also to finish the learning/course in fixed amount of time. For me, any study/learning with no deadlines means never completing the study.

    is it true that in a g-force simulator if you keep it at a constant speed of say G4 the g-force will not apply??-My reason for this is what if time and space which einstein used to describe the slowing down of time could just simply be because the atoms within it's volume of space(space which could be the meaning of space as in time and space) are so compressed due to say g-force so that they are constricted more and more slowing down their chronological movement-What i heard was that an experiment of atomic clock ,each on a plane was synchronised and the "clock on plane that moved" slowed down compared to the stationary one-Would the forward force in physics of "for every positive action(forward motion) will create an equal and opposite reaction?? this might mean that the moving clock might experience a miniscule G-force or some other restrictive force ? If so then that constriction of miniscule G-force might constrict the volume of space for the atoms to move around in atomic clock slowing it down compared with the stationary clock?-If i heard correctly Einstein "predicted" that the closer you go to a black hole the slower time slows down-Wouldn't that be just a description of every atom that creates chronological movement is slowed down because even their atoms in molecules are "constricted" OF SPACE due to gravity and the G-force "forward" movement??-Imagine a person stuck in a very small closet that constricts his movements -To the observer it seems to show the slowing of chronological movement of his body to slow or even "STOP" -If atoms have a "CONSTRICTED/CONGEALED VOLUME" to move in then the movement of atoms will slow or "STOP"!! So the entire observable object would seem to slow and "STOP"!! --if a speed is constant then i'm intuitively confident that the G-force will remain and acceleration would "NOT" be a factor "IF THERE ARE NO OUTSIDE FORCES LIKE ATMOSPHERIC FRICTION"-An example would be the vacuum of space that would not require acceleration to continue the G-force effect once the optimum speed has been obtained- So provided the atomic clock that slowed in the plane had continued motion(IN atmosphere that creates friction acceleration would be needed for constant speed "BUT" in vacuum of space "ACCELERATION WOULD "NOT" be needed for continued "PALPABLE/OBSERVABLE" G-force effect once the optimum speed is obtained) the atomic clock's movement of atoms "MIGHT ACTUALLY" be constricted by a miniscule G-force effect , thus slowing down the chronological movement of hands or digital face-Even light is affected by Gravity (as in gravity lensing) and i should imagine it's restriction would include anything observable by us-In the "MOVING" airplane cabin air and other unseen things may be the "OTHER" key factors interacting with motion to create the miniscule G-force effect that restricts the movement of atoms in atomic clock that creates the slowing down of it's actions as a clock-THIS might be the reason for time slowing down when movement is applied "OR" extreme gravity is applied and not the classical idea of the ability to go forward or back in time to see past or future events-THE black holes theoretically churning out constantly huge numbers of these gravity repeling particles and any matter with gravity to cause the expansion of the universe "raw" Quantum particles which are in unusually small size repelling gravity and any matter with gravity(unlike the ones on earth
