Work done by gravity (path independent)| Work & Energy | Physics | Khan Academy

Let's see why work done by gravity is path independent.

Khan Academy is a nonprofit organization with the mission of providing free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere. We offer quizzes, questions, instructional videos, and articles on a range of academic subjects, including math, biology, chemistry, physics, history, economics, finance, grammar, preschool learning, and more. We provide teachers with tools and data so they can help their students develop the skills, habits, and mindsets for success in school and beyond. Khan Academy has been translated into dozens of languages, and 15 million people around the globe learn on Khan Academy every month. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we would love your help!

we need to appreciate his work..indeed all his video has nice explanation
i think his work is underrated

11:23 "Making the staircase even smaller" is a nice approach to giving an intuitive understanding of integration while calculating work done.
Well done!

[Sonikoranga_yoga]

Omg... this feels like something i already this vedio deserves more views!!! even the method of namo sir(god of visualising physics) didn't get into my head and this is something amazing thanks a lot!

[sequalsr]

Excellent video it cleared all my concepts.

[mahnoormukhtiar]

you deserve millions of likes. who agree ?

[naveennaidu]

We realise in higher education in a more precise way "Work done is path independent in a conservative vector filed ( Divergence is 0, ex : Gravitational force field). " But sir made it super easy for school students. ❤

Thank you so much sir after a stressful day at school your videos give me hope 😅

12:37 i dont think that curve is the same as the previous curve, there is a point in the curve where the height will increase and the distance is not going to be equal to the straight line.
btw i love your videos and the way u teach, very clear and intuitive, far better than other khan academy lists.

8:52 What will be the displacement if the body is moving upwards

[skb]

Can't we simply use w= fscostheta for the slope??

[shouryavardhandatta]

That is why we should take the displacement in consideration not the direction.

Yar rally bro very very nice explanation this could really help us all a lot really you did it in very easiest way really this helped us a lot....❤️❤️

[fatimalearns]

Thankyou so much for this video!
Indeed a very beneficial video it is! :)

Sir why the motion of ball in free fall is faster than the inclined plane motion?

[atpTUBE]

WOW that understanding was greaatt! I didnt even think about it :)

[sukriti]

No doubt sir 😃 that this is the best explanation video of this topic on yt 🌟✨ Amazing....!!! Just speechless explanation 👀👏

[danielmok]

You explained it much better than my physics teacher Jason Chan

[nainaaqsa]

Ah ...now i can breathe freely😅...your explanation made me happy
