3. The Lagrangian for a relativistic particle of (rest) mass m is L=-me²/1- (A² - Elmo (The corresponding action S = ( L dt is simply the length of the particle's path through space-time.) (a) Show that in the nonrelativistic limit (v << c) the result is the correct nonrelativistic kinetic energy, plus a constant corresponding to the particle's rest energy. (Hint. Use the binomial expansion: for small 2, (1 + 2) = 1 +a +a(-1) + a(a-1)(-2) 13 +...
A particle of mass m moves in the vertical plane (xOz) under the influence of two forces: gravity: G-m g (g oriented in the -z direction), and the frictional force: F--k V, where V is the instantaneous velocity. The initial conditions are: a) Find x(t) and zit) b) Find the equation z(x) of the trajectory. Under what conditions is this trajectory a parabola? c) Assuming that Xo > 0, and ї0, find the coordinates (xA,-A) of the highest point on...

1. A particle of mass m moves in three dimensions, and has position r(t)-(x(t), y(t), z(t)) at time t. The particle has potential energy V(x, y, 2) so that its Lagrangian is given by where i d/dt, dy/dt, dz/dt (a) Writing q(q2.93)-(r, y, z) and denoting by p (p,P2, ps) their associated canonical momenta, show that the Hamiltonian is given by (show it from first principles rather than using the energy) H(q,p)H(g1, 92,9q3,...
A particle of mass m is in a potential energy field described by, V(x, y) = 18kx² +8ky? where k is a positive constant. Initially the particle is resting at the origin (0,0). At time t = 0 the particle receives a kick that imparts to it an initial velocity (vo, 2vo). (a) Find the position of the particle as a function of time, x(t) and y(t). (b) Plot the trajectory for this motion (Lissajous figure) using Vo = 1,...
Consider a particle of mass m in an infinite spherical potential well of radius a For write down the energies and corresponding eigen functions ψ--(r,0.9).

Solve for the coeffici You may find useful the integrals in the front of the (6 pt) d) Now consider the finite potential spherical well with V(r)- ing only the radial part...
A block of mass m = 3.5 kg is
on an inclined plane with a coefficient of friction
μ1 = 0.31, at an
initial height h = 0.53 m above
the ground. The plane is inclined at an angle θ =
54°. The block is then compressed against
a spring a distance Δx = 0.11 m
from its equilibrium point (the spring has a spring constant of
k1 = 39 N/m) and
released. At the bottom of the inclined plane...
