    Eigenvector of Pauli Matrix (z-component of Pauli matrix)

    I have had no problem while finding the eigen vectors for the x and y components of pauli matrix. However, while solving for the z- component, I got stuck. The eigen values are 1 and -1. While solving for the eigen vector corresponding to the eigen value 1 using (\sigma _z-\lambda I)X=0, I got...

    Gravitational potential energy of a system

    I think it will be very tiresome to pick each and every particle and work out their work done in bringing them from infinity to that position. There must be some quick method...

    Forced Vibration: Amplitude Of Vibration Changes Periodically?

    In forced vibration, amplitude of vibration changes periodically. Is it right ? I think it is a correct statement, since the amplitude of vibration is a periodic function.

    Time Dilation in Spinning Cylinder Room: Can We Break the Speed of Light?

    In the spinning cylinder room example mentioned in relativity, where the nearest distance between 2 point is actually curved line.. and light take a straight pass right, which is farer than the curved line due to time dilation in the middle of the room due to a smaller acceleration than side of...

    Work Energy Power: Where Does the Energy Come From?

    Since your position is changing, you are gaining potential energy and as you are pushing the bicycle, the potential energy comes from yours muscles, I mean -muscular energy

    Comparing Bobby and Cindy's Math Test Scores: Who Performed Better?

    Bobby and Cindy are in different math classes. Bobby got a 75 on his test and Cindy got a 70 (surprisingly low for children of an architect). Bobby’s class had a mean of 80 and a standard deviation of 5. Cindy’s class had a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 10. Who did better on their test...
