AI Thread Summary

To determine the speed of a 500 g ball swinging in a vertical circle with a string length of 1.5 m and a tension of 15 N at the bottom of the circle, a free body diagram is essential. The forces acting on the ball include gravitational force and tension. The gravitational force is calculated as mg, which equals 4.9 N for the ball. The net force at the bottom of the circle is the tension minus the weight of the ball, resulting in a net force of 10.1 N. Using the centripetal force equation, the speed of the ball can be calculated to be approximately 3.7 m/s.

A 500 g ball swings in a vertical circle at the end of a 1.5-m-long string. When the ball is at the bottom of the circle, the tension in the string is 15 N.

What is the speed of the ball at that point in m/s?

Thread 'Help with Time-Independent Perturbation Theory "Good" States Proof'

(Disclaimer: this is not a HW question. I am self-studying, and this felt like the type of question I've seen in this forum. If there is somewhere better for me to share this doubt, please let me know and I'll transfer it right away.) I am currently reviewing Chapter 7 of Introduction to QM by Griffiths. I have been stuck for an hour or so trying to understand the last paragraph of this proof (pls check the attached file). It claims that we can express Ψ_{γ}(0) as a linear combination of...
