Newtonian, Lagrangian, and Hamiltonian Methods for Simple Pendulum Motion
Offered By: Dot Physics via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the equations of motion for a simple pendulum through three distinct methods: Newtonian, Lagrangian, and Hamiltonian mechanics in this 39-minute physics video. Begin with an introduction, then delve into the Newtonian approach, followed by a numerical solution using Python. Progress to the Lagrangian method, then the Hamiltonian approach, comparing the results. Conclude with an examination of phase space. Access supplementary Python code and a related video on acceleration in polar coordinates to enhance understanding of these fundamental physics concepts.
