Inclined Planes - IB Physics

Solving a ramp problem is made much easier by tilting the x and y axis so that the x axis is parallel to the ramp. This video shows you how to tilt the axis and the relationships between forces that appear.

03:51 as a physics teacher, this is one of the best visual descriptions and the best way that I've ever seen to teach this to students, thanks!!

this man accomplished teaching me something in 5 minutes, that took me months to understand, damn

[zueiraproductionsbr]

You really helped me a lot; I got in doubt about a problem where there was a rope pulling a man up in an inclined plane, but now all makes sense, thanks a lot!

[arniie]

thanks for the concise and clear explanations, i finally understood this

[pavlovacat]

Thank you so so much; this video helped a lot

[valentinaxie]

literally finally understood after this video

If you were my physics teacher I would be getting 10s out of 7 lol

Hey there, I have a doubt. Isn't the vertical component of the force sin(theta) and the horizontal cos(theta)? If so why are we taking the components as vice versa? Is it because we tilted the axises?

I have to say a lot of people have been asking this question. No, really. A lot of people come up to me and they ask me. They say, 'What's 2+2?' And I tell them look, we know what 2+2 is. We've had almost eight years of the worst kind of math you can imagine. Oh my god, I can't believe it. Addition and subtraction of the 1s the 2s and the 3s. Its terrible. Its just terrible. Look, if you want to know what 2+2 is, do you want to know what 2+2 is? I'll tell you. First of all the number 2, by the way I love the number 2. It's probably my favorite number, no it is my favorite number. You know what, it's probably more like the number two but with a lot of zeros behind it. A lot. If I'm being honest, I mean, if I'm being honest. I like a lot of zeros. Except for Marco Rubio, now he's a zero that I don't like. Though, I probably shouldn't say that. He's a nice guy but he's like, '10101000101', on and on, like that. He's like a computer! You know what I mean? He's like a computer. I don't know. I mean, you know. So, we have all these numbers and we can add them and subtract them and add them. TIMES them even. Did you know that?
