    Finite ring with identity must have positive characteristic

    how to u do know that 1+1+1...n times isn't just one? we don't know how addition is defined?

    Finite ring with identity must have positive characteristic

    im in a good mood sorry if u get affended i really appericate the help but i dissagree i a few things

    Finite ring with identity must have positive characteristic

    how do u know what happens when u add to numbers, how do u know that they get larger define larger. we may not be dealing with numbers all we know is that its a ring. we don't know what 1 is it is just the muliplictive inverse. it may not be a number

    Finite ring with identity must have positive characteristic

    you are assuming that we are dealing with numbers and with our normal addition. addition can be defined in any way. that's my problem just because it is a ring does not mean we are dealing with numbers or at the least the regular def of addition and multiplication

    Finite ring with identity must have positive characteristic

    prove that a finite ring with identity has characteristic n for some n>0. been trying for a while getting nowhere any ideas?

    What does it mean for momentum to be a constant of motion?

    what does it mean for momentum to be constant of motion. i know that if it is it will commute with the hamiltonian but what does it mean in words?

    um u could do that or reg kinetic

    Commutator of Hamiltonian and momentum operator for general potential

    i think the problem is i don't know what to do when we have an additon in the commutator i don't know how to treat it

    Commutator of Hamiltonian and momentum operator for general potential

    samal where is the h bar term? is that a property of commutator i have never seen that before

    Commutator of Hamiltonian and momentum operator for general potential

    um is there an easier way? like the first respnse seems right but idk how to get there its an elementary problem that i have I am sure

    Commutator of Hamiltonian and momentum operator for general potential

    yes that's what I am doing but I am still getting zero

    Commutator of Hamiltonian and momentum operator for general potential

    thats how i started but didnt arrive at that can u show a little bit more detail if u don't mind. thanks a lot though

    Bad Movie Physics : How do I prove this wrong?

    um calulate the engery needed to jump that high then find out the highest a human can possibliy jump?

    Commutator of Hamiltonian and momentum operator for general potential

    consider a general one dimensional potential v(x) drive an expression for the commutator [H,P] where h is hamiltonian operator and momentum operator. i keep getting zero and i don't think i should. since next part of homework question sais what condition must v(x) satisfy so that momentum will...
