I am 3rd year physics student (actually I have just finished it). I have good knowledge on basics of quantum mechanics: I had 1 semester of Introduction to Quantum Physics and then 2 semesters of Quantum Physics. Our literature were Griffiths (Introduction to Quantum Mechanics) and ''Gennaro...
I am modeling some dynamical system and I came across integral that I don't know how to solve. I need to integrate vector function f=-xj+yi (i and j are unit vectors of Cartesian coordinate system).
I need to integrate this function over a part of spherical shell of radius R. This part is...
Let's assume that there is some external force creating torque on the wheel, but it doesn`t affect translation (it`s possible if the force is in vertical direction in our wheel example). If coefficient of static friction is not large enough for rolling without slipping, will then wheel...
Suppose that we have a some rotating object (lets say a wheel with radius R). Let's observe this problem from some reference frame in which center of mass translates with some velocity v and rotates with angular velocity ω. I know that condition for rolling without slipping is v=ωR (point at...
-Definition of complete space: if every Cauchy sequence of points in M has a limit that is also in M or, alternatively, if every Cauchy sequence in converges in M. (and from this definition we can define Hilbert Space)
-Definition of Hilbert space:
A Hilbert space is a vector space with an...
I know that this is the case when there is forced discrete oscillating system (like masses connected with springs), and it can easily be shown for discrete systems that enduring solution is particular solution. But I wasn't sure that same thing happens with continuous system.
-If we have string of length L that has fixed ends, then we can easily find frequencies with which this string can oscillate:
We just need to solve wave equation: ∂2y/∂x2=1/c2*∂2∂t2 (c is determined by strings properties (linear density and tension), with Dirichlet boundary conditions...
