Over a spatial continuum, it is easy to see why some topological solitons like vortices and monopoles have to be stable. For similar reasons, Skyrmions also have to be stable, with a conserved topological density. The reason is nontrivial homotopy.

Surprisingly, in some phases, but not all phases, the analog of topological solitons, or at least what can be interpreted as them, also emerge over lattice models. Why is that? There is no nontrivial homotopy over a lattice. Why are there some phases of the XY-model with deconfined vortices and antivortices? Why are deconfined monopoles present in some 3D lattice models?

A small solid sphere of mass M₀, of radius R₀, and of uniform density ρ₀ is placed in a large bowl containing water. It floats and the level of the water in the dish is L.

Microwave communication is important for modern information technologies. Your cellphone uses at least three microwave communication technologies: the mobile signal, the WiFi signal, and the GPS location service. Google for the frequency bands for these three technologies, and briefly explain why we can have all three functions running on a single cellphone simultaneously without them interfering with each other.

b) Determine the force the sun exerts on a kilogram of water on the earth’s surface at a point nearest the sun and at a point farthest from the sun. (c) Do the same for the force exerted by the moon. (d) Explain why the tides are associated with the motion of the moon.

a) Kinetic theory. The speed of sound in the air is 330 m/s under standard conditions of temperature and pressure (273 K and 1 atm). Since the size of a molecule is much smaller than the average distance between the molecules, this number provides an estimate of the order of magnitude of the molecular media velocity. Consider a cubic meter of air and concentrate it on a N2 molecule that travels in the x direction at 330 m / s. Its mass is equal to 28 grams / 6.02 x 10 ^ 23.
1) Calculate the amount of movement imparted to the wall when it collides in an elastic way with it. Why is twice the amount of movement that it has?

2) How long does it take to do the 2-meter round trip between collisions against the same wall? Note that collisions between molecules (ideal gas) are not taken into account.

3) What is the average force exerted by a molecule on the wall?

4) If it is known that 6.02 x 10 ^ 23 N2 molecules (i.e. 28 grams) occupy 22.4 liters in standard conditions of temperature and pressure. How many molecules are in 1m ^ 3?

5) Assume that one third of all specific molecules average the force on the wall perpendicular to the x direction. Calculate the pressure (= force / 1m ^ 2) on the wall.

NOTE: It is expected to obtain a pressure of 1 atm (= 10 ^ 5N / m ^ 2). The calculations give a lower pressure. This is because the speed of sound underestimates the effective molecular speed by a factor of (1.4 / 3) ^ 1/2.

Here we will look at an example of subatomic elastic collisions. High-speed neutrons are produced in a nuclear reactor during nuclear fission processes. Before a neutron can trigger additional fissions, it has to be slowed down by collisions with nuclei of a material called the moderator. In some reactors the moderator consists of carbon in the form of graphite. The masses of nuclei and subatomic particles are measured in units called atomic mass units, abbreviated u, where 1u=1.66×10−27kg. Suppose a neutron (mass 1.0 u) traveling at 2.6×107m/s makes an elastic head-on collision with a carbon nucleus (mass 12 u) that is initially at rest. What are the velocities after the collision? If the neutron's kinetic energy is reduced to 3649 of its initial value in a single collision, what is the mass of the moderator nucleus? Express your answer in atomic mass units as an integer.
