Part C

Refer back to example 9-12. A bullet with a mass of m=8.10gm and an initial speed of vi=320m/s is fired into a ballistic pendulum. What mass must the bob have if the bullet-bob combination is to rise to a maximum height of 0.125 m after the collision?

Express your answer using two significant figures.

Suppose we have the following vectorial equation c = na x b where n is a constant, and c, a, b are vectors Givens n = -1 a = 2i – j

a) Determine the direction and size of the vector c if b = 2i

b) Determine the direction and size of the vector c if b = 2k

c) Determine the direction and size of the vector c if b = 2i – k

I really need the step by step for this. If you could, please write legibly.

Thank you Greatly!

in this problem we are interested in the time-evolution of the states in the infinite square potential well. The time-independent stationary state wave functions are denoted as ψn(x) (n = 1, 2, . . .).

(a) We know that the probability distribution for the particle in a stationary state is time-independent. Let us now prepare, at time t = 0, our system in a non-stationary state

Ψ(x, 0) = (1/√( 2)) (ψ1(x) + ψ2(x)).

Study the time-evolution of the probability density |Ψ(x, t)|^2 for this state. Is it periodic in the sense that after some time T it will return to its initial state at t = 0? If so, what is T? Sketch, better yet plot (by using some software), |Ψ(x, t)|^2 for 3 or 4 moments of time t between 0 and T that would nicely display the qualitative features of the changes, if any.

(b) Let us now prepare the system in some arbitrary non-stationary state Ψ(x, 0). Is it true that after some time T, the wave function will always return to its original spatial behavior, that is,

Ψ(x, T) = Ψ(x, 0)

(perhaps with accuracy to an inconsequential overall phase factor)? If so, what is this quantum revival time T? Compare to (a). And why do you think it was possible to have it in this system for an arbitrary state?

(c) Think now about the revival time for a classical particle of energy E bouncing between the walls. Assuming the positive answer to (b), if we were to compare the classical revival behavior to the quantum revival behavior, when these times would be equal?

Need help with Part C!

Design a carefully scaled and drawn Minkowski diagram depicting two reference frames P (x and t) and Q (x' and t') with Q moving at a speed of 0.6c in the positive x-direction with respect to P.

i) If event A occurs at x=1 and t=1 while event B occurs at x=1 t=2, determine the interval of time between these events as measured by an observer in Q. Suggest two other events and use them to demonstrate reciprocity of time dilation. Show the space-time interval is the same for P and Q

ii) If a meter stick is at rest in Q between x=1 and x=2, determine the length measured by an observer in P.

  1. On a planet, the acceleration due to gravity is only 7.2 m/s2. A person living on that planet throws a football at 10 m/s at an angle of 48 degrees to the horizontal. The person is standing, so the ball launches from an initial height of 1.8 meters above the ground. (Ignore any air resistance here.)

  1. What maximum height from the ground would the ball reach?
  2. What would be the flight time before the ball gets back to the ground?
