Show that for any central force, a particle moving in a curved path and acted upon by that central force has constant angular momentum about the force center.
8.4 The Two-Dimensional Central-Force Problem The 2D harmonic oscillator is a 2D central force problem (as discussed in TZD Many physical systems involve a particle that moves under the influence of a central force; that is, a force that always points exactly toward, or away from, a force center O. In classical mechanics a famous example of a central force is the force of the sun on a planet. In atomic physics the most obvious example is the hydrogen atom,...
A force F is exerted upon a point particle as the particle moves through a distance x. The area under the force versus distance graph, (F versus x graph) represents A) the kinetic energy of the particle; B) the power developed by the force as the particle moves through the distance x; C) the work done by the force as the particle moves through the distance x; D) the potential energy the particle gains;
Figure shows a point P on the central axis through a thin ring (through the center of curvature and perpendicular to the plane of the ring). The ring holds a uniformly distributed charge Q = 5.00 x10-15 C and has radius R = 3.00 cm. Point P is at distance d= 25.0 cm from the ring's center. What is the potential V at P due to the ring's charge? - --- da
