Homework Statement
How does the state of a particle in an ISW evolve with time after the width of the well doubles - from a to 2a
If the particle starts in the ground state of the half width well, then immediately after the well doubles it will be undisturbed therefore the initial wave...
Homework Statement
I'm working on an assignment about the chaotic behaviour of the Duffing Oscillator, using Wolfram Mathematica, which has a package that can be used to calculate Lyapunov exponents.
From looking the oscillator up online, I have a set of parameters that result in...
Homework Statement
I am trying to show that for a duffing oscillator described by
x''+2g x'+ax+bx^3=0
with a<0, b>0
the equilibria at x=+- \sqrt{-a/b} are stable
Homework Equations
I used coupled equations, and the characteristic equation of a linear system
The Attempt at a Solution...
Homework Statement
Show that if I and J are ideals of the (commutative) ring; R then
S={xy|x in I y in J} is not necessarily an ideal but the set of finite sums
IJ={Ʃ(xvyv)|xvin I yvin J}
is (and called the product ideal).
Homework Equations
An ideal satisfies the properties
For...
Homework Statement
Integrate from zero to infinity;
f(x)=\sqrt(x)log(x)/(x^2+1)
Homework Equations
Branch cut makes log(z)= ln|z|+i Arg(z)
Poles are at +/- i and Res(z=i) is \pi/4 e^(i \pi/4)
I'll need to close the contour; probably as an annullus in the top half of the...
Homework Statement
Find the order of the poles of
f(z)=z/(e^z-1)
Homework Equations
The poles are at z=2 π i k k\inZ\0
(Because at z=0 f(z) has a removable singularity -set f(0)=1)
The Attempt at a Solution
I tried using the Taylor series of e^z - \sumz^n/n!
But I just...
For part (i) - you are right,
For part (ii) you have used s_x instead of V_x to determine V_y
For part (iii) - yes, the acceleration is constant, but it is not equal to C; but maybe try determining the total acceleration, and the acceleration in the x direction instead of differentiating...
For part (b) you should use the equation PE=mgh (where m is the mass of the object, g is the gravitational force on the object, and h is the height of the object) You know what the initial kinetic energy is, and that at the peak of the throw; the potential energy will be equal to the the...
Homework Statement
I have a general wave equation on the half line
utt-c2uxx=0
u(x,0)=α(x)
ut(x,0)=β(x)
and the boundary condition;
ut(0,t)=cηux
where α is α extended as an odd function to the real line (and same for β)
I have to find the d'alembert solution for x>=0; and show that in...
wait, no, I got it. The denominator is 2 sinh(pi) and the numerator is twice the Fourier series at Pi - which is sinH(pi) multiplied by the series I want.
Thanks!
:)
