Mahiindra cole Centrale Tutorial Sheet-3 Central forces/SHM PHYSICS-101 Date 150220 1) Let a particle be subject to an attractive central force of the form n where r is the distance between the particle and the centre of the force. Find fn), if all circular orbits are to have identical areal velocities, A 2) For what values of n are circular orbits stable with the potential energy un-Ai where A > 0? 3) A satellite of mass m 2,000 kg is...
Rutherford scattering for an attractive force In class we assumed that the central force is repulsive. Find the differential cross section σ(Θ) of an attractive force F = −k/r2 . Plot the characteristics trajectory of a test particle scattered off an attractive force. Please be detailed in your answer and clearly explain where each constant or variable come from in your set up of the problem.
analytical mechanics seventh edition p.141 3.24 let a particle of unit mass be subject to a force x-x^3 where x is its displacement from the coordinate origin (a) Find the equilibrium points, and tell whether they are stable or unstable (b) Calculate the total energy of the particle, and show that it is a conserved quantity (c) Calculate the trajectories of the particle in phase space
Consider a particle with a mass m subject to a force F(x) = ax - bx3 where x is the displacement of the origin of the reference system and a and b are positive constants. a) Find an expression of the particle's total energy. Show that this total energy is constant. b) Find the equilibrium points and determine if they are stable or unstable.
2. Two bodies with reduced masses m, and m, interact via the central force F--ks. a. The effective single particle of reduced mass u has an elliptical orbit whose energy is an increment AE above the minimum energy Vmin for a closed orbit. Find the angular momentum and pericenter radius rmin as a function of AE and Vmin- b. An impulsive force is applied to the effective particle at its pericenter, reducing the angular velocity to a factor k times...
2. The equations of motion for a system of reduced mass moving subject to a force derivable from a spherically symmetric potential U(r) are AF –102) = (2+0 + rē) = 0 . (3) Using the second of these equations, show that the angular momentum L r 8 is a constant of the motion (b) Then use the first of these equations to derive the equation for radial motion in the form dU L i=- What is the significance of...
