@successifyplus: The fastest route between two points is not always a straight line. This brachistochrone experiment shows how gravity helps the ball on a curved path gain speed earlier and reach the finish first. #Physics #ScienceExperiment #Brachistochrone #Engineering #LearnOnTikTok
It’s not supposed to be the fastest. It’s the shortest distance 🙄

only when gravity is a factor

the SHORTEST distance between two points is a straight line.

the orginal statement refers to distance not speed

This is a friction & gravity thing. Not a distance thing.

The common term is "shortest" not fastest

it was never the FASTEST route. a straight line in always the SHORTEST route from point A 👉 point B

Well there is 3 separate speeds soooooo.

Fastest and shortest are two different ideas

not fastest......shortest

I don’t know why you people seem to think this is impressive, if you take each of those lines and straighten them out, you’ll see why they didn’t arrive

without gravity line wins

i think this is true only under the influence of gravity

This doesn’t work in a vacuum, or space…just like a brick and feather fall at the same rate.

ball is using gravity and momentum to get speed now if it was on like a flat plain and they went the same speeds the straight approach would be faster

Inertia is what got the other two there first

The shortest distance between 2 points is a straight line. Not the fastest.

Yes with only gravity as the accelerator

I guess it is if you’re a ball that accelerates going down a hill now let’s talk about going down to the same speed

Only when using gravity as a catalyst to help with momentum but use that theory in a high speed car and see where that gets ya

The shortest distance! Not the fastest

shortest distance between two points IS Always a straight line. read the words, who cares about speed

When gravity is your propulsion that is likely true
