Man on a Boat: Center of Mass

Physics Ninja looks at the center of mass of a man walking across a boat.

The position of the center of mass shouldn't change because there is no net force acting on the system.

GREAT video. So many other sources on the web explained this in the most complicated and convoluted way EVER, but this was really clear. Many thanks from a struggling college physics student!

hey man!!! I'm from India...
your Explanation is super amazing, the way you visualise the situation is literally mind-blowing.... love you sir❤️❤️❤️❤️.... Plz bring more videos, you deserve atleast one million subscribers.... plz bring HC VERMA SOLUTIONS also IRODOV'S the same you.... you inspire lots of Love ❤️❤️❤️

this clarified my doubts regarding this concept! thanks a lot!

[chrissnyder]

Can he get to the other side of the boat with no boat movement if he turns and moon-walks? push forward slide backwards? Could not resist, sorry; great video and thanks!

Thank you sir for such a great explanation

I am from India, I got my doubt clarified .Thank you and post many videos

[gigisae-zheng]

Great video//you save my life for my phy midterm tmr

[drened]

Thank you so much. In my hw the km/h were also given to throw us off so I was waiting for velocity to come into play into this hahaha

[shayarmode]

Real feel of physics. 💕
Thank you very much.

YOU ARE AWESOME MAN, PLZ DO MAKE SUCH VIDEOS ON WORK POWER AND ENERGY, CIRCULAR MOTION TOOOO I WILL SHAR THIS VIDEOS

[ArgentumFirst]

Thank you sir, But it is also possible to solve the problem with the Momentum conservation with the relative motion right..

Hi, Can You Make A Video On Indian Hardest Exam - JEE Advanced

[vikramnagarjuna]

Hi this is vikram from India,
I like your videos very much. Animations could have included to these types of problems. Please provide animations too.. Humble request..

Thanks a lot for not using variables ☺

Great explanation

If use direct formula for displacemnt of the boat viz = ml/M+l it comes out to be 1.38 m but you are getting 3.08 m displacemnt how?

Hey hi... I had a doubt..
If the man is walking on the boat (which I assume is on frictionless surface) Then to a observer (outside the boat) would see that the man is standing still while the boat moves back right? (I hope you can visualise what I am trying to say)

Like The boat the move back.... but the man would stay there...
But in many simulations online, that is not what they show... Why is this?

Will the man move ahead as well? IF yes, then how?

hello, thanks for that great knowledge about that topic, please have a nice day :)

[alamgirk.s.quayyumchowdhur]

thanks a lot. I am getting a A for this video.
