Consider a simple model of the hydrogen atom where 1 electron is in a stable orbit around 1 proton at a distance of 0.05 nm. If the electron were moved to a larger stable orbit (say 0.1 nm), what would be the sign of: deltaU = the change in potential energy? deltaK = the change in kinetic energy? deltaE = the change in mechanical (potential plus kinetic) energy? Would moving the electron to a higher orbit require positive or negative work from external forces?

In the first stage of a two-stage rocket, the rocket is fired from the launch pad starting from rest but with a constant acceleration of 3.50 m/s2 upward. At 25.0 s after launch, the second stage fires for 10.0 s, which boosts the rocket�s velocity to 132.5 m/s upward at 35.0 s after launch. This firing uses up all the fuel, however, so after the second stage has finished firing, the only force acting on the rocket is gravity. Air resistance can be neglected.

Part A

Find the maximum height that the stage-two rocket reaches above the launch pad.?

Part B

How much time after the stage-two firing will it take for the rocket to fall back to the launch pad?

Part C

How fast will the stage-two rocket be moving just as it reaches the launch pad?

Firstly, I understand that we have no observational evidence for 'wormholes'. They are theorised solutions to general relativity equations.

That said, if macroscopic wormholes do exist---how do they work? I've been thinking about this for the past couple of days, and I have some questions.

What does the mouth of a wormhole look like? I've seen this; is that more or less accurate?
If I place one end of a wormhole in a high magnetic field, and the other end on my desk, will all my ferrous objects fly into the wormhole?
If so, with what force? What does the magnetic field look like at each end of the wormhole?
If the distance between the mouths of the wormhole was comparable to the force that the magnets exert, would the magnet 'pull' on itself and draw itself into the wormhole?

Do any of these questions even make sense?

If we couple a Yang-Mills theory with a Higgs field and some quarks in the fundamental representation, we can have a Higgs phase and a confining phase. However, they are indistinguishable. The Wilson loops scale according to the perimeter law, not the area law in the confining phase because of hadronization. In the Higgs phase, there is no cluster decomposition for the Higgs field because distant points have to be connected by a Wilson line with exponential falloff as the length of the Wilson line.

Why are both phases indistinguishable?
