I am sorry if it is wrong topic , and sorry if it is a bit bad text - translated it from estonian to english. If someone could do it and maybe explain this- that would be great.

Homework Statement



1)In the reference system K is point M with coordinates x=5m , y=2m and z=8m. You have to find that point coordinates in refenrece system K', which moves with velocity 7 m/s aiming z-axis.

2)Particles equations of motion in reference system K' is
x'=5t+4
y'=0
z'=0

Write out this particles equations of motion in reference system K, if:

a) K' is still according to K and its deperature point coordinates are O' (2;0;0).

b) K' is moving according to K evenly and straight with velocity 10 m/s aiming x-axis.
On observation start-moment t=0 both coordinate systems deperature points were same.

Homework Equations


Galilei's principle of relativity, Galilean transformation and and inertial reference frame.

Hi latel, welcome to PF!:smile:

We don't do your homework for you here; you need to make an attempt and show your work, so that we can see where you are having trouble.
 
I can't understand this - how to put these into coordinate system ?
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
