It's great to see individuals working off of each other's designs! ZDP189 started us off by creating the Brachistochrone Curve using Tinkercad's 3D Design editor to be used in Sim Lab. https://www.tinkercad.com/things/fpbtQPwVMRG Then DrakerDG continued to work on the design, making it bigger and experimenting with materials. https://www.tinkercad.com/things/h0DdySoOIcE 🤝 Great teamwork! | Tinkercad

A Brachistochrone curve may sound like a fancy way of saying 'curvy line,' but trust me, it's so much more. It's the curve that makes Isaac Newton and Johann Bernoulli's head spin. It's the curve that Einstein couldn't resist. It's the curve that will make you question everything you thought you knew about gravity and time. In short, it's the curve that will make you laugh and cry at the same time. . 2nd half of the video is created by Mythbusters . #physics #gravity #spacetime #math | THE GRAPH

Not all paths are created equal 🚀 This fascinating experiment demonstrates the Brachistochrone Curve, a concept from physics that shows the fastest path for an object under gravity. Using three balls on inclined ramps with different paths, the experiment highlights how the curved path consistently beats the straight and other paths. It’s a beautiful combination of science, math, and motion at work! #Brachistochrone #PhysicsExperiment #ScienceInMotion #GravityRules #PathOfLeastTime #STEMLearning

The Brachistochrone curve is a mathematical concept in physics that describes the fastest path for a particle to travel between two points in a gravitational field. In simpler terms, it’s the curve that minimizes the time it takes for an object to slide or move under gravity between two given points. The term “brachistochrone” comes from Greek words meaning “shortest time.” The solution to this problem involves a curve known as a cycloid, which is traced by a point on the rim of a circular wheel
