Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@PrasannaIndi-j5x says : Next year jee advanced/ gaokao question 😅>> <<@arslanhashmi45 says : Ladder on the left is already a few mm down.>> <<@Rawrsification says : Oh, it's because the steps are slanted, so when they strike the table, the short end gets pulled down a little faster by the step. This builds up just a little bit of acceleration, causing the ladder that hit the table to fall faster. I'm almost positive if the steps were horizontal, this wouldn't happen.>> <<@BooneDavey says : The rungs being slightly offset (instead of perfectly horizontal) causes the force of the 1st side to touchdown to transfer the kinetic energy through the rung to the other side & that energy is pulling that other side down faster. Yes, the impact of the rungs is going to cause some upward bounce after hitting but that just causes slack in the rope & that's not going to cause it to fall less fast because slack is the opposite of tugging.>> <<@goIden_tongue says : intuition tells me it has to do with them twisting and pulling the ropes down when they land on each other (the rungs)>> <<@zaarmad says : The tension(?) is moving through the ladder like a phantom traffic jam.>> <<@Kids_FUN_LEARN_6703 says : Table support>> <<@jorgesanchez5836 says : One ladder is shorter duh 😂>> <<@ganeshkandu says : because of air long length more air resistance shorter length less air resistance do it in vacuum>> <<@ayhancetin7885 says : conservation of momentum>> <<@TitsMcGeester says : I think the bouncing of the slats causes tension on the strings, causing it to be pulled down?>> <<@partypat7229 says : you can visually see why it is falling faster, the longer lines on the sides visually crunch.>> <<@THESTORYVAULT-v3s says : The ladder hitting the table falls faster because each rung that strikes the table rotates and pulls the remaining ladder downward, creating additional downward acceleration beyond gravity alone.>> <<@Lifeis2hard says : the table is closer than the ground>> <<@powderedphantom5765 says : Lower distance traveled>> <<@electricstickboi says : Gravity.>> <<@AryaN-v2f6i says : Air resistance reduction for ladder 2 by area>> <<@m53goldsmith says : Happens because the drag weight on the left side becomes less and less as more of the rungs hits the table.>> <<@alinavin2792 says : Because the table is closer than the ground😂>> <<@Bab123-v4p says : maybe kenetic energy?>> <<@kilroy987 says : Did the turning rungs pull the ladder down?>> <<@Guest-q6r3f says : Because when the first rod hit the table the strings are no longer tight, there's no force affecting them as the last rod hit the table and created an opposing force in the opposite direction, so the linked rods now that were moving in a constant acceleration will begin to have different speeds, every one will fall on its own, so the original speed in the beginning + the speed that emerged from the release of the strings > the original speed only.>> <<@Caterpat-o8w says : Pls i need to no>> <<@panda_ultra_solo2912 says : Air resistance maybe?>> <<@PxelPxr says : Because B had less distance to travel>> <<@allenthomasmuttikal says : Newtons third law>> <<@sukhjot7 says : This happening because of shape of Leder steps when both are in air same g applies to both. But when left Leder touches table top its tilted steps create a torque and that pulls string making the fall faster ! Will it be same if Leder steps are flat ? I don’t think so!! What do you think>> <<@anas_rais_2.0 says : Why it's so important to know? 😂 Will it make me rich, No?>> <<@Siddhi-h4s says : Okay guys i am hear with two explanations 1. If we make a free body diagram of the lader just touching the talbe the new tension force is always less so the pulling force that works upward becomes less. 2. The mechanical energy is conserved always, in table and lader one mass is decreasing so the velocity shall increase.>> <<@Skipsx says : Vsauce wouldn't do this to us>> <<@arifdayat6335 says : when the rod hit ground, it creates tension to rope the other tip, it basically pulling>> <<@ShahrukhUddin-shrk says : B got rotational moment of inertia>> <<@HCB-iX says : What I think is, since the part that touched the table is also in contact with the other parts still falling, reducing the distance the others at the top has to travel, effectively making it fall first. @veritasium I was 3 years late, hope you see the comment. 😂😭>> <<@tylerthurman2366 says : Does it only happen if the rungs are angled that way?>> <<@SkyChaserCom says : Less weight (piling on table) pulling left one down and air resistance slows it more due to less force on it. In a vacuum this would fall at same rate.>> <<@blue_twister says : Total resistance due to friction is reduced as the rungs hit the table allowing the remaining rungs to speed up.>> <<@askandelassaad3138 says : P=mg>> <<@oratilekekana4156 says : It's the government>> <<@mokagamer911 says : i am just guessing here but i think it got to do with newton's 3rd law every action has an equal and opposite reaction so when the first stick hits the table the opposite force goes to it upper stick and the upper stick hits the table and give the opposite force to the other stick and so on so that opposite force pushes the the rest of the object down>> <<@mtliedke says : Something to do with rigidity of the system.??? Maybe links curling under the impact create tiny pull sideways those transfering energy downwards and tiny pull adds up.>> <<@Jaap-JanDuisterwinkel says : I would say, we did not see the starting length. And because of all diagnals, its an optic ilusion, the were not the same lenght at the start.>> <<@lognott says : Because the elongated side hitting pulls the short side towards the bottom with more force>> <<@Merlocampini says : When the wooden slats hit the table, they create a short downward impulse, briefly pulling the falling chain even faster downward.>> <<@miknoiz264 says : the string expands then contracts>> <<@LinearMovies says : Air resistance, assuming it wasn't done in a vacuum chamber>> <<@cozyandahalle says : Diminishing wind resistance?>> <<@dawidmarsza6604 says : That’s why. Both ladders have uneven steps. If steps were even they would fall in the same speed. So having that out of the way it’s because there is force that causes steps to rotate while hitting the ground and pulling the rest of the ladder one side at a time. This force is small but it compounded over time making the ladder accelerate faster compared to the free falling ladder.>> <<@kiurigan7358 says : Because the rods are not parallel 😭>> <<@Spike-w7x says : When the ladder rings hit the table they aren’t experiencing any air resistance so the overall resistance on the ladder is less and it falls faster?>> <<@micanal-cv7dd says : Easy explanation! When they stop, each rope is pulling down each rod added to the ropes.>>
