Stable, Unstable, and Neutral Equilibrium

[@cryptid1925]

I have been confused about these three states for as long as i can remember. But now i understand it better than ever! Thanks :D

what is equilibrium?

i thought u have a mind, why are i putting this mind pfp btw?

Thank god for helping me find this holy channel ! Your page has really helped me alot and just wanted to say Thank You !!!

[@FlippingPhysics]

You are very welcome!

[@learningisecstatic9348]

You are just awesome. Thank you for your gigantic effort. We just get the finished product and can hardly feel the painstaking effort that you undergo while making such accomplished masterpiece. Thank you sir , thanks a lot from the core of heart.

[@FlippingPhysics]

Always good to hear from you Learning is Ecstatic.

[@schwarzerritter5724]

So... a stable equilibrium is the same as an unstable equilibrium? The difference between the bottle and the marker is just how far you can push them until they are not able to get back into their original position.

[@FlippingPhysics]

Typically they are defined as to separate things, however, I agree that the marker is in stable equilibrium over a very small distance.

[@butyrate]

I just want to say I absolutely love your videos!! For me I always learn better in a classroom group setting and when you have “different” people answer questions, describe concepts and add in on each other... it helps me learn and understand the concepts so much better! Thanks for everything!!!! I’ve always loved science and thus year I took an AP Physics class ONLINE.... I couldn’t have done it without you! Thanks!

[@FlippingPhysics]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@megscorner3596]

Thank you so much for explaining this! I would love if you could explore more on how the center of mass impacts the equilibrium point of that object, and also its practical applications. Thank you so much!

thanks

[@vamosabv]

Thanks! A short video that illustrates it almost perfectly. Do you think you could have used something else than a water bottle because if you tip it way too much it falls down much like the marker?

[@Adityakumar-hb7fx]

Thank u sir

[@novelist_world]

Thank you for this tomorrow is my physics exam 😫

[@FlippingPhysics]

I hope it went well!

[@ΚώσταςΝταής-β3π]

how is the bottle in stable equilibrium since if you push it moreit will fall?

[@FlippingPhysics]

It is in stable equilibrium within the bounds of where it will return back to its original position. Outside of that range, it is not longer in stable equilibrium. If you think about it, the marker is also in stable equilibrium in an extremely narrow range of motion.

[@ΚώσταςΝταής-β3π]

@@FlippingPhysics yes, i watched some more videos to understand it better. English is not my native language so i hadnt fully understand before. I thought that the equilibrium is always a point of the object. Now i understand that the equilibrium is a situation where the object is in balance. So an object has equilibrium points. I watched the gömböc video where it is about self righting objects so i thought that every equilibrium point of every object has the "ability" to return there at all costs. To sum up, now i understand that equilibrium is a situation where an object is in balance and a stable equilibrium point is a point of an object that if balanced there it returns after some (but not necessarily all) forces applied on it... Sorry about my english anyway!

Tysm sir u made my concept clear

[@tonystank9397]

Glad I came across this channel, probably no one from here (India) could've explained this concept with this ease.

[@FlippingPhysics]

Welcome to my channel!

[@arctic_line]

For your example of unstable equilibrium, wouldn't it falling be because the center of gravity moves past the point of rotation, not because it lowers?

[@brianmcelhenny7645]

For the marker the center of mass is lowering once it moves past that axis of rotation. For the water bottle the center of mass never makes it past the axis of rotation, so it is moving up, then gravity moves it back to the equilibrium point.

[@ramonaparicio6989]

👏👏👏

[@rithikkhanna1053]

Great video! One question: The description says that this is a portion of the AP Physics C Mechanics review. Is this part of the AP Physics 1 curriculum?

[@FlippingPhysics]

I do not believe this is a part of the AP Physics 1 curriculum.

[@uhkneerudh]

Nice video! Is this apart of some new series in the works or is it just a One-off tutorial on this concept?

[@FlippingPhysics]

Just a one off.

[@madhunayak165]

You are the best your video helped me so so so much THANK YOU

[@FlippingPhysics]

[@noramyidayu4363]

thanks from Malaysia.

[@mousumimitra6834]

Can you please explain how the centre of mass of the bottle goes up as it shifts away from the equilibrium position?

[@carultch]

Try a few experiments to locate the center of mass, and mark that point. I recommend freezing the water, or filling it completely full, so the sloshing doesn't change the mass distribution. Then set the bottle on a level surface, and watch which direction the center of mass has to move as the bottle tips.

[@yournextdoorfriend6573]

thankk you :))))

[@thewarriorsclub9081]

i was very confused in the examples but after seeing your videos my all doubts get cleared thanks a lot sir

[@FlippingPhysics]

[@thewarriorsclub9081]

@@FlippingPhysics sir why is the direction of radial acceleration is different from centripetal acceleration means why they are opposite in direction

[@FlippingPhysics]

Sometimes I see "radial acceleration" which is defined as opposite the direction from "centripetal acceleration" (outward instead of inward). I have never seen much use for an outward, radial acceleration.
