AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving a dynamics and kinematics problem involving particles. A user confirms that the initial approach is good but points out an error in the integral calculation. It is emphasized that knowing the initial velocity at y=0 is crucial for determining the constant C. Additionally, the final height can be found by recognizing that the bullet's velocity will be zero at that point. This guidance helps clarify the steps needed to solve the problem effectively.

Your approach so far is good, but check your integral, it's not correct (or you might have made a typo). Second, the integral gives you v(y), and you know v(y=0) is the initial velocity, which is given in the problem. That allows you to calculate C. Finally, when the bullet is at its final height, its velocity will be zero. This tells you how to find the final height.

Thread 'Help with Time-Independent Perturbation Theory "Good" States Proof'

(Disclaimer: this is not a HW question. I am self-studying, and this felt like the type of question I've seen in this forum. If there is somewhere better for me to share this doubt, please let me know and I'll transfer it right away.) I am currently reviewing Chapter 7 of Introduction to QM by Griffiths. I have been stuck for an hour or so trying to understand the last paragraph of this proof (pls check the attached file). It claims that we can express Ψ_{γ}(0) as a linear combination of...
