Particle in one dimension wave function from Quantum Mechanics

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving a quantum mechanics problem related to a particle's wave function in one dimension. The user expresses uncertainty about how to plot the graph of their solution and mentions using Overleaf LaTeX for plotting. Suggestions include using Excel's ERF function for graphing. Additionally, there is advice on verifying the correctness of their previous answers by troubleshooting and checking the integration results. The conversation emphasizes the importance of self-assessment in problem-solving.

But me not sure how to plot the graph. Maybe someone knows?

Merci

With a plotting program? Excel has the ERF function that you can use.

I plotted in overleaf latex

Do you know if the other parts (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) are good?

Best wishes to you

What do you think? There comes a time when you need to troubleshoot your own work. Look at your answers and try to prove them wrong. If you can't, then they are probably correct.

For example, in (i) when you integrated did you get 1 or did you not?
In (ii), is you answer the magnitude-squared of what you got in (i) or is it not?

And so on.
 
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
Thread 'Minimum mass of a block'
Here we know that if block B is going to move up or just be at the verge of moving up ##Mg \sin \theta ## will act downwards and maximum static friction will act downwards ## \mu Mg \cos \theta ## Now what im confused by is how will we know " how quickly" block B reaches its maximum static friction value without any numbers, the suggested solution says that when block A is at its maximum extension, then block B will start to move up but with a certain set of values couldn't block A reach...
