Abstract:
The Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover (VIPER) is a NASA mission designed to explore the extreme environment of the Moon in search of water ice. VIPER will land at the South Pole of the Moon and spend approximately 100-days mapping and surveying four different "ice stability regions" to understand the nature and distribution of these "in-situ resources". The information returned by VIPER will help determi...

    I didn't understand almost anything and now i'm now more confused than ever, thank you for that :S Thanks for all the content, but without examples it's hard to understand. Why two-joint can be shown as a torus exactly? Show it with an example, because without that for a beginner is just like nothing, it can mean anything. And why suddenly two points on a rigid body can be transformed to 2 spheres with a (circle?) between? Why you suddenly added a C point? Seriously, this is incredibly confusing. Take it as a good advice anyways

    Hi, I was hoping you could answer something about the angular velocity vector: When I take an angular velocity omega in 3 space and decompose it into its x, y and z components, omega_1, omega_2 and omega_3 respectively, we expect the magnitude of the angular velocity vector to be: |omega| = square root of ((omega_1)^2+(omega_2)^2+(omega_3)^2). However, if you think about the rotation of a body described by the omega vector: Let's say it does one full rotation in 1 second. Physically, the projections of this rotation onto the yz plane, xz plane and xy plane correspond respectively to the x, y and z components of omega above and each of these projections (of the body onto the respective planes) all undergo one full rotation in 1 second also. So, on the face of it, the angular velocities of each of these components are on average (over one rotation) the exact same as the magnitude of the angular velocity of our vector omega (if we trace out the motion of the body itself and the motions of the projections of the body): |Omega| = omega_1 = omega_2 = omega_3 This contradicts the decomposition above. Can you explain what's going on here and what assumptions above are false. I would be very grateful if you could offer help with this as I can't get answers anywhere else. I'm interested in fitting the mathematics with the relevant physics. Thanks.

    • @zerox2536
      @zerox2536 Год назад

      The magnitude of the angular velocity vector is given by |omega| = sqrt((omega_1)^2+(omega_2)^2+(omega_3)^2), where omega_1, omega_2, and omega_3 are the x, y, and z components of the angular velocity vector, respectively. However, when considering the rotation of a body described by the angular velocity vector, the projections of the rotation onto the yz plane, xz plane, and xy plane correspond to the x, y, and z components of the angular velocity vector, respectively. Each of these projections undergoes one full rotation in one second, which suggests that the angular velocities of each component are on average the same as the magnitude of the angular velocity vector. This contradicts the decomposition above. The assumption that is false is that the projections of the rotation onto the yz plane, xz plane, and xy plane correspond to the x, y, and z components of the angular velocity vector, respectively. This is not true in general. The angular velocity vector is a vector quantity that encodes the time rate of change of angular position, as well as the instantaneous plane of angular displacement 2 . In three dimensions, angular velocity can be represented by a pseudovector because second rank tensors are dual to pseudovectors in three dimensions 2 . Therefore, the angular velocity vector is not simply the sum of its components, but rather a more complex quantity that takes into account the direction and magnitude of the rotation.

      @@zerox2536 Fair enough, thanks for that. I just can't see how angular velocity is a (pseudo-)vector. Can you show that angular velocity is a (pseudo-)vector. What about angular velocity ensures us that if you add any two angular velocities together you get another angular velocity vector which represents the combination of the two physically.

      @zerox2536 Год назад

      @@markkennedy9767 You know, I'm generally bad at linear algebra and stuff. But I searched a little on the Internet and I can try to explain how I understood. A pseudovector(w) is a vector whose directions are associated with the direction of rotation. These vectors do not have specific application points: they can be plotted from any point on the rotation axis (this circle is near the rotation axis ˆw). This is the difference between a vector and a pseudovector. A vector has both a beginning and an end, while a pseudovector has an arbitrary one.
