@integral4u: The brachistochrone problem is one of those ideas that completely changes the way you think about motion. The fastest path between two points is not a straight line. By using calculus of variations, mathematicians discovered that a curve allows an object to gain speed early and arrive sooner than it would on the direct path. A result that feels impossible at first becomes inevitable once the mathematics is worked out. Sometimes the shortest distance is not the fastest journey, and that is exactly why mathematics is so fascinating. This is my latest animation exploring one of the most beautiful problems ever solved.#fyp #fypシ #math

Wick :
This is with gravity if you were on a plane the fastest route would be the straightest path

This is with an external force of gravity

doesn’t this only work on a curved surface tho?

I don’t think that’s the correct equation. What is ds?

that’s because the curved path is the shortest because it takes the shortest time to go there, so it is the shortest past

that's only because of the fall speed if it was in horizontal the straight its the fastes
