Could be a stupid question. But in case of complete inelastic collision, when one particle is at rest and other one collides with it and both move together, I made calculations(pretty simple ones), the conservation of linear momentum and conservation of kinetic energy give different results. Can...

Hello. I want to know the full in-detail process which happends inside our Sun's thermo-nuclear core. As far as I know the steps in the H - He fusion process are: 1) H+H -> He2 2) He2 can rarely decay (Beta plus) into Deterium and a positron 3) If so Deterium + H -> He3 4) He3 + He3 -> He4 + 2H...

Suppose you have two observables ##\xi## and ##\eta## so that ##[\xi,\eta]=0##, i know that there exists a simultaneous complete set of eigenvectors which make my two observables diagonal. Now the question is, if ##\xi## is a degenerate observable the complete set of eigenvectors still exist?

Recently, I have been studying the methodology used by Schwarzschild to derive the exterior Schwarzschild solution to the Einstein field equations. Now, here was the process: 1. He started with an ansatz: ds2= -B(r)c2dt2 +A(r)dr2 + r2(dθ2 + sin2(θ)d∅2) (I used the - + + + signature here). He...

Hello all. I've recently started on the path to coding/programming in preparation for my future (double) major, if all goes well. However, as someone with virtually no coding/programming experience, I was wondering if some of you wiser people could give me any recommendations as to websites I...

Hi! (Wave) How can we find the depth of a perfect binary tree and how of a complete one? (Thinking) Since a perfect binary tree is a full binary tree, at which the leaves have the same depth, I thought that we can find the depth, by just looking at the leftmost nodes, like that...

I need some help figuring out a problem dealing with lattices. The problem is this: Prove that any lower-bounded lattice satisfying the maximal condition is a complete lattice. I've been able to figure out some things so far. I know that a lattice is a meet- and join-semilattice, which...

I am going through James Binney's course on Quantum Mechanics. I love all of the little misconceptions he points out along the way. One thing he mentions in his text and the lectures is found on page 20 and 21 starting with the heading "Commutators" eq. 2.21. He states that non commuting...

Hi! So let's say we measured the angular momentum squared of a particle, and got the result ##2 \hbar^2##, so ##l=1##. Now we have the choice of obtaining a sharp value of either ##L_z, L_y## or ##L_x##. Okay, fair enough. But I have two questions: 1) The degeneration degree is ##3## because...

Orthogonal plane waves can be used to expand Bloch waves. It is better than plane waves because it converges more quickly. However, I've got a problem. The completeness of plane waves is guaranteed by Fourier analysis. Why is OPW complete? It is orthogonal to core levels. But does it mean OPW is...

Hi, I've got a distribution of points in two dimensions and would like to demonstrate if these are randomly distributed. The points have been measured using single particle tracking, so likely have some degree of error in their position. What I'd like to show is whether, as time progresses...

Is the set of the natural Nos complete?

Hello, I've been struggling with the so often spoken idea that a metric tensor gives you all necessary information about the geometry of a given space. I accept that from the mathematical point of view as every important calculation (speaking as a physicist with respect to GTR rather than...

Hi i am confused of the following question. Suppose we have a Metric Space (X,d), where d is the usual metric. Now are the following subsets complete, if so why?? 1.$$X=[0,1]$$ 2.$$X=[0,1)$$ 3.$$X=[0,\infty)$$ 4.$$(-\infty,0)$$

According to Isham (Differential Geometry for Physics) at page 115 he claims: "If X is a complete vector field then V can always be chosen to be the entire manifold M" where V is an open subset of a manifold M. He leaves this claim unproved. A complete vector field is a vector field which...
