proof of Kepler’s Law of Ellipses independently discovered by Maxwell, Hamilton and Feynman.
This document discusses Einstein's theory of special relativity. It introduces Einstein's two postulates: 1) the laws of physics are the same in any inertial reference frame, and 2) the speed of light in vacuum is constant. It describes how the Galilean transformations do not account for electromagnetism, while the Lorentz transformations proposed by Hendrik Lorentz are consistent with Maxwell's equations. The Lorentz transformations relate space and time coordinates between inertial frames in motion. Relativistic addition of velocities is also covered.
This document summarizes key concepts from a physics lecture on special relativity. It discusses how measurements of time, length, and simultaneity depend on the observer's inertial reference frame. The three main points are: 1) time dilation causes moving clocks to run slow relative to proper time in the rest frame; 2) length contraction makes moving objects appear shorter than their proper length; 3) whether two events occur simultaneously is frame-dependent. Examples are provided to illustrate time dilation, length contraction, and their consequences.

This document discusses the displacement of two ropes being moved in alternating waves by the left and right arms. It asks for the speed of the rope in the right arm and the displacement equation for that rope.
It is determined that the ropes have the same speed of 5.6 m/s since they are π radians out of phase, meaning their displacements are equal and opposite. The displacement equation for the rope in the right arm is determined to be D(x,t) = -(1.0)sin(0.28x-1.57t) based on the properties of harmonic motion and using information from the graph shown.

uses of leflace transformation in the field of civil engineering by Engr mesb...MIsbahUllahEngr
This document discusses using the Laplace transform method to analyze various civil engineering structures. It provides examples of how the Laplace transform has been used to analyze beams, columns, beam-columns, and determine dead load deflections in bridges. The key benefits of the Laplace transform method are that it provides efficient solutions to differential equations governing the behavior of structures without finding the general solution, saving time and labor compared to classical methods.
This document discusses magnetic monopoles and solitons in field theory. It summarizes that solitons are finite-energy, non-dissipative solutions to classical wave equations that arise in non-linear theories. Magnetic monopoles can be constructed from potentials that have Dirac string singularities, requiring the Dirac quantization condition where magnetic charge is quantized. Several models are described where magnetic monopoles arise, including the 't Hooft-Polyakov model in 3+1 dimensions, where the mass of monopoles is related to the gauge boson mass. To date, no magnetic monopoles have been observed experimentally.
This document discusses horizontal projectile motion. It explains that horizontal projectile motion involves only horizontal velocity, while ignoring air resistance and only considering the downward force of gravity on vertical motion. The horizontal velocity does not affect the rate of fall. To analyze projectile motion, horizontal and vertical motions must be considered separately. The range of a projectile is equal to the initial horizontal velocity squared times the time in the air divided by twice the gravitational acceleration. Practice questions are provided to solidify the concepts.
The Laplace transform is a linear operator that transforms a function of time (f(t)) to a function of a complex frequency variable (F(s)). It works for functions that are at least piecewise continuous for t ≥ 0 and satisfy a boundedness criterion. The Laplace transform reduces differential equations to algebraic equations, simplifying their solution. It can be used to solve ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and partial differential equations (PDEs).
The document discusses the results of an exam in a physics class on elasticity and oscillations. It provides the grade distributions and averages for the exam, along with lecture materials on springs, Hooke's law, simple harmonic motion, and examples of physics problems involving springs and oscillations.

2) An example uses this equation to find the velocity of car A relative to car B as they approach each other.
3) Another example involves finding the direction and velocity of a swimmer crossing a river relative to the shore, given the swimmer's speed and

1) Motion with constant acceleration can be described using equations relating displacement, initial/final velocities, acceleration, and time.
2) Examples are given of calculating distances and times for objects with constant acceleration, such as airplanes accelerating down runways and cars braking.
3) Freely falling objects near Earth's surface experience a constant acceleration due to gravity of about 9.8 m/s2. Examples show calculating heights and times for balls thrown upward and falling.
1. The document discusses various entanglement measures, including relative entropy of entanglement and squashed entanglement.
2. It presents results on monogamy relations for relative entropy of entanglement and commensurate lower bounds for squashed entanglement.
3. The proofs of these results rely on quantum hypothesis testing with one-way local operations and classical communication and technical lemmas regarding trace distance and relative entropy.
- Carlos Ragone fell 500 feet into snow after his anchor gave way while mountain climbing. The snow broke his fall, creating a 4 foot deep hole.
- Assuming constant acceleration during his impact with the snow, the estimated average acceleration was about 125g as he slowed to a stop within the 4 foot deep hole.
- A runner ran 2.5 km in 9 minutes, then walked back to the starting point over 30 minutes. Her average velocity was 5.2 km/hr for running, -0.83 km/hr for walking, and 0 km/hr for the total trip. Her average speed for the entire trip was 1.3 km/hr.
The lecture covered topics in elasticity and oscillations including simple harmonic motion of springs and pendulums. It discussed the kinetic and potential energy of oscillating masses on springs, noting that maximum potential energy occurs at maximum displacement while maximum kinetic energy occurs at the equilibrium point. It also explained that for a pendulum, the period does not depend on amplitude or mass but only on the length of the pendulum and acceleration due to gravity.
This document provides a summary of key concepts in two-dimensional kinematics and projectile motion. It begins by defining displacement, velocity, and acceleration in two dimensions. It then discusses solving kinematics problems by resolving vectors into horizontal and vertical components. The document also covers projectile motion, where the horizontal velocity is constant and vertical acceleration is due to gravity. It ends by discussing relative velocity problems involving adding velocities of objects moving relative to each other or to a fixed point.

Cosmic Adventure 5.6 Time Dilation in RelativityStephen Kwong
1) Time dilation describes the phenomenon where time passes at different rates for observers in different reference frames that are in motion relative to each other.
2) The proper time between two events is the time interval measured by an observer in the rest frame of the events. For observers in different frames, the time interval is dilated compared to the proper time.
3) Experiments have verified time dilation, such as atomic clocks on airplanes or the lifetime of muons. The twin paradox describes how a twin that travels in a rocket will age less than their identical twin who remains on Earth, even though each twin was stationary in their own reference frame.
The document discusses kinematics and defines key terms like displacement, speed, velocity, and acceleration. It explains that kinematics deals with motion without reference to forces, while dynamics considers forces. Displacement is distance travelled along a specified direction, speed is a scalar quantity referring to rate of change of distance, and velocity is a vector quantity referring to rate of change of displacement. Acceleration refers to rate of change of velocity. Examples of displacement-time graphs are also presented to illustrate concepts of uniform and changing velocity.

It defines key terms like position, velocity, acceleration, displacement, distance, speed, average speed, average velocity, instantaneous velocity, constant acceleration, and the kinematic equations. It includes examples of how to use the kinematic equations to solve problems involving constant acceleration. There are also sample problems assessing understanding of concepts like displacement vs distance, velocity, acceleration, and interpreting graphs of kinematic variables.
Constructive waves tend to build up sediment on beaches through stronger swash movements that transport material upwards. Destructive waves erode beaches through stronger backwash movements that transport material downwards. Coastal sediments are transported alongshore through repeated up and down movement by swash and backwash in a zig-zag pattern that gradually moves the material in the direction of the prevailing waves and winds.

Johannes Kepler was a German astronomer who developed his three laws of planetary motion in the early 17th century. Kepler's laws state that: 1) planets move in ellipses with the Sun at one focus, 2) a line connecting a planet to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal times, and 3) the square of a planet's orbital period is proportional to the cube of its average distance from the Sun. These laws helped solidify the heliocentric model of the solar system and were later explained by Newton's law of universal gravitation.
The document lists various coastal locations around the world that a seagull named Helga has visited including Greece, Australia, the Baltic Sea, Corsica twice, Brasil, Florianopolis in Brasil, South Brasil, Thailand, Mexico, Normandie, and Portugal. The document is dedicated to those who love the oceans like the creator.
The document discusses the ongoing crisis in Ukraine, including the geopolitical and ethnic splits within the country. It notes that Russian troops have now entered eastern Ukraine, though incursions have occurred before, and that Russia's military is stronger so sanctions may be a better response than further escalation.
Some advice on safeguarding for teachers and ICT inc. iPadsWill Williams
The document discusses safeguarding personal devices like iPads and discusses digital footprints, cache, history and the pros and cons of cloud storage. It also summarizes how Dropbox works on mobile devices by syncing files on demand to save bandwidth and storage, allowing users to download specific files by tapping on them or marking them as favorites, and uploading photos automatically or manually from the device over Wi-Fi.
The document discusses different classifications of coastlines based on geology and energy levels. There are three main types of coastlines: transverse coasts which develop when rock strata is perpendicular to the shoreline; longitudinal/concordant coasts which develop when rock strata runs parallel to the shoreline; and coastlines classified by energy levels including high energy, low energy, and protected coastlines based on wave activity. Geology is the overriding factor in coastal morphology, with rock type and structure influencing coastal landforms.

Physical Geography Lecture 17 - Oceans and Coastal Geomorphology 120716angelaorr
This document discusses various topics related to coastal geomorphology including ocean currents, tides, waves, and the landforms shaped by coastal processes. It describes how tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun. Spring tides occur when these three bodies are aligned and produce the highest tides, while neap tides occur at right angles and have lower tides. Extreme tides over 15 meters occur in the Bay of Fundy. Waves are affected by factors like fetch, wind strength, and duration. Refraction disperses wave energy at headlands and concentrates it in bays, shaping distinctive coastal landforms. Human structures can disrupt sediment flows and cause shoreline erosion over time.

This document discusses potentials and fields in electrostatics and electrodynamics. It introduces vector and scalar potentials, gauge transformations, and Maxwell's equations in potential form. It then covers plane wave solutions to Maxwell's equations using potentials. Retarded potentials are defined using the retarded time, and it is shown that the retarded potentials satisfy Maxwell's equations in the Lorentz gauge. Finally, it discusses Lienard-Wiechert potentials for point charges and approaches to deriving length contraction and other relativistic effects from potentials and fields.
The document presents a theory of conformal optics for studying classical optics using conformal invariants. It defines conformal optics as the study of optical phenomena properties that are invariant under conformal mappings, analogous to Felix Klein's Erlanger program that conceived geometry as the study of properties invariant under transformations. The theory is based on a fundamental axiom that when an optical phenomenon occurs, there exists at least one non-zero quanta property invariant under conformal mappings from the phenomenon scene to the unit disk. Various optical phenomena like refraction, reflection, interference, and diffraction are then analyzed using this axiom and conformal mappings.
This document provides an overview of key concepts in cryo-EM image formation and processing.

Models of the exit wave and recorded image are developed based on these principles. Assumptions of the models are also discussed.
Motions for systems and structures in space, described by a set denoted Avd. ...Premier Publishers
In order to describe general motions and matter in space, functions for angular velocity and density are assumed and denoted Avd, as an abbreviation. The framework provides a unified approach to motions at different scales. It is analysed how Avd enters and rules, in terms of results from equations, in field experiments and observations at Earth. Chaos may organize according to Avd, such that more order, Cosmos, appear in complex nonlinear dynamical systems. This reveals that Avd may be governing and that deterministic systems can be created without assuming boundaries and conditions for initial values and forces from outside. A mathematical model for the initiation of Logos (when a paper accelerates into a narrow circular orbit), was described, and denoted local implosion; Li. The theorem for dl, provides discrete solutions to a power law, and this is related to locations of satellites and moons.
Quantum Theory. Wave Particle Duality. Particle in a Box. Schrodinger wave equation. Quantum Numbers and Electron Orbitals. Principal Shells and Subshells. A Fourth Quantum Number. Effective nuclear charge
A young astronomer’s by now ten years old
results are re-told and put in perspective. The implications are
far-reaching. Angular-momentum shows its clout not only in
quantum mechanics where this is well known, but is also a
major player in the space-time theory of the equivalence
principle and its ramifications. In general relativity, its
fundamental role was largely neglected for the better part of a
century. A children’s device – a friction-free rotating bicycle
wheel suspended from its hub that can be lowered and pulled
up reversibly – serves as an eye-opener. The consequences are
embarrassingly far-reaching in reviving Einstein’s original
dream
1) The Born-Oppenheimer approximation separates the molecular Schrodinger equation into electronic and nuclear parts based on the large mass difference between electrons and nuclei.
2) It assumes that over short time periods, electrons adjust instantaneously to nuclear motions. This allows treating electronic motions separately for fixed nuclear positions.
3) Solving the electronic Schrodinger equation for different nuclear configurations provides the potential energy surface for nuclear vibrations and rotations.
The document summarizes the problems from the 7th International Physics Olympiad held in 1974 in Warsaw, Poland. It includes two theoretical problems and their solutions. The first problem involves calculating the minimum velocity for an elastic collision between hydrogen atoms using the Bohr model. The second problem involves calculating refraction indices and trajectory of a light beam passing through a transparent plate with a refractive index that varies linearly with position.
The document summarizes the problems and solutions from the 7th International Physics Olympiad held in 1974 in Warsaw, Poland. It includes 3 theoretical problems and 1 experimental problem prepared specifically for the competition. Problem 1 involves calculating the minimum velocity for an elastic collision between hydrogen atoms using the Bohr model. Problem 2 involves calculating refraction indices and trajectory of a light beam passing through a transparent plate with a refractive index that varies linearly. Problem 3 shows that there is no theoretical limit to the power of an ideal engine that uses gas and selective membranes as described.
The document summarizes three theorems about balancing weights on boundaries and skeletons of polygons and polyhedra:
1. For any polygon or bounded region containing the origin, weights can be placed on the boundary such that their center of mass is the origin, if the largest weight does not exceed the sum of the other weights.
2. For any 3D polyhedron containing the origin, there exist three points on the boundary that form an equilateral triangle centered at the origin.
3. For any 3D bounded convex polyhedron containing the origin, there exist three points on the skeleton whose center of mass is the origin.
Rutherford scattering experiments bombarded thin metal foils with alpha particles. Most alpha particles passed straight through, but some were scattered at large angles. This was inconsistent with the plum pudding model of the atom, but agreed with Rutherford's nuclear model. The scattering was analyzed using classical mechanics. For head-on collisions, large-angle scattering required the target mass be much greater than the alpha particle mass, as is the case for alpha scattering off atomic nuclei but not electrons. This supported the existence of a small, massive nucleus at the center of the atom.

3) Problem 3 describes using lasers to cool atoms by resonant absorption. It calculates the laser frequency needed, velocity range absorbed, direction change upon emission, maximum velocity decrease, number of absorption events to slow to zero velocity, and distance traveled during cooling.
This chapter discusses angular momentum for objects moving in the x-y plane. It introduces the following key points:
1) The angular momentum of an object can be written as the sum of the angular momenta of its constituent particles.
2) For a rigid object rotating about an axis, its angular momentum is given by L=Iω, where I is the moment of inertia and ω is the angular velocity.
3) For general motion, the angular momentum and kinetic energy can be written in terms of the motion of the center of mass and the motion relative to the center of mass.
The document discusses Fourier transforms and their application to galactic spectroscopy. It begins by explaining what a Fourier transform is and how it can transform raw continuous data into a frequency distribution. It then discusses how Fourier spectroscopy uses an interferometer to collect scattered light data from different wavelengths, which is converted via a Fourier transform into a readable spectrum. The document goes on to explain how galactic rotation curves are measured using the Doppler shift of hydrogen emission lines to determine angular velocities at different radial distances from the galaxy's center. It describes how Vera Rubin's experiments in the 1960s found discrepancies between measured rotation curves and those predicted by Newtonian mechanics based on observable mass alone, providing early evidence for dark matter.
1) Bohr's model of electrons orbiting the nucleus in circular orbits was ineffective beyond simple atoms like hydrogen and lithium.
2) De Broglie, Heisenberg, and Schrödinger pioneered quantum mechanics, modeling electrons as waves rather than particles in orbits.
3) Schrödinger's wave equation described electron wave functions and allowed electrons to exist in discrete energy levels around the nucleus.
1) Bohr's model of electrons orbiting the nucleus in circular orbits was ineffective beyond simple atoms like hydrogen and lithium.
2) De Broglie, Heisenberg, and Schrödinger pioneered quantum mechanics, proposing that electrons behave as waves rather than particles in orbits.
3) In Schrödinger's wave mechanical model, electrons are described by wave functions that represent probability distributions of their location and discrete energy levels.
The document discusses the Robertson-Walker metric and its application to cosmological redshifts. It contains the following key points:
1. The Robertson-Walker metric describes a homogeneous and isotropic universe and can account for the observed redshift of distant galaxies by considering the expansion of the universe over time.
2. The metric allows for spaces with positive, negative, or zero curvature, corresponding to closed, open, or flat geometries for the universe.
3. Application of the metric successfully explains Hubble's observation of redshift proportional to distance as being due to the Doppler effect from the receding motion of galaxies caused by the expansion of the universe.
The document provides an overview of the key concepts in electronic structure of atoms, including:
1) Light and electromagnetic radiation can be described as waves or particles depending on how they are observed. Max Planck introduced the idea that energy is quantized in discrete units called quanta.
2) Niels Bohr combined classical physics and Planck's quantum theory to develop the Bohr model of the atom, in which electrons orbit the nucleus in fixed energy levels. This explained atomic emission spectra.
3) Later, quantum mechanics developed by Schrodinger, Heisenberg and others described electrons as waves rather than particles. This led to new models of electron orbitals and the filling of these orbitals in
Classical and Quasi-Classical Consideration of Charged Particles in Coulomb F...ijrap
On the basis of the theory of bound charges the calculation of the motion of the charged particle at the Coulomb field formed with the spherical source of bound charges is carried out. Such motion is possible in
the Riemanniam space-time. The comparison with the general relativity theory (GRT) and special relativity theory (SRT) results in the Schwarzshil'd field when the particle falls on the Schwarzshil'd and Coulomb centres is carried out. It is shown that the proton and electron can to create a stable connection with the dimensions of the order of the classic electron radius. The perihelion shift of the electron orbit in the proton field is calculated. This shift is five times greater than in SRT and when corrsponding substitution of the constants it is 5/6 from GRT. By means of the quantization of adiabatic invariants in accordance with the method closed to the Bohr and Sommerfeld one without the Dirac equation the addition to the energy for the fine level splitting is obtained. It is shown that the Caplan's stable orbits in the hydrogen atom coincide with the Born orbits.

2. A Few Clarifications
What do I mean by ‘elementary’?
Explicit use of sophisticated machinery from vector analysis
is avoided.
Why bother with an elementary proof?
It’s insightful to have some exposure to the style in which
Newton et al worked.
Is this proof due to Newton?
No, this was discovered independently by William Rowan
Hamilton and Richard P. Feynman.
4. Velocity
vectors
Make all the velocity vectors co-initial.
What do we get?
A closed curve, right?
Technically called a hodograph.
Presumed orbit
We don’t know
whether it is
elliptical.
Looks like a circle?
It is, in fact, a circle, but we must prove it.
5. Choose points on the hodograph such that |∆v|
(difference between successive velocity vectors)
is equal i.e. |UV| = |VW| = |WX|
X
By Newton’s ULoGr, we get
∆v = a∆t = (GM/R2)∆t
W
Kepler’s Law of Ellipses aka Law of
Conservation of Angular Momentum
says areal velocity A is constant.
V
U
Now, A = R2∆θ/∆t
i.e. ∆t = R2∆θ/A
Plugging the second equation into the first gives
∆v = (GM/A)∆θ
What does this mean pictorially?
6. If in the orbit we choose points A, B, C, D, such that angles ASB, BSC, CSD (S
being the Sun), then the corresponding points A’, B’, C’, D’ on the hodograph will
satisfy |A’B’| = |B’C’| = |C’D’|.
But we’re looking for something more informative. For this we remember, ULoGr
is a vectorial law.

S
Force is directed towards S, and so is Δv. Hence as, ‘radial’ vector rotates around by
equal angular increments, so does Δv in the hodograph.
But, if equally long segments are placed end-to-end in such a manner that adjacent
segments are differ by a constant angle, then the segments form a regular polygon,
which in the limit of an infinite number of sides is a circle.
The hodograph is hence indeed a circle!
7. Let’s take a look at the picture so far.
Hodograph
v
A
A’
v
S’
S
Orbit
θ
O
θ
Since tangent to hodograph is parallel to the line
joining A and S, the corresponding radius OA’
(whose length we take as v0) is perpendicular to
the same.
8. This is all very pretty. But what does it have to do with an ellipse?
A lot, as we shall soon see.
Construct the locus of a point the sum of
whose distances to O and S’ is v0. The locus is,
of course, an ellipse, let us denote which by Γ.
Q
L
P
M
N
OP + S’P = OQ = OP + PQ
i.e. PQ = PS’
The ‘mirror property’ of ellipses tells us that if
LMN is tangent to Γ at P, then
S’
O
Angle LPS’ = Angle NPO
i.e. Angle LPS’ = Angle LPQ
Hence we may regard Q as the reflection of S’
about LMN. LMN is thus the perpendicular
bisector of S’Q.
Hodograph
9. Let us compare corresponding points P and Q’ on Γ and the orbit respectively.
We note that OP is perpendicular to SQ’, and the tangent LMN is perpendicular to
velocity vector S’Q. We begin to suspect that if we were to rotate Γ by a right angle
clockwise, and scale it with a dimensionful factor, it might serve as a valid trajectory as
the directions of displacement and velocity vectors are consistent with ULoGr. To
complete the proof all we need to show is that magnitudes are also consistent with
ULoGr.

For this we turn to the Law of Conservation of

10. LoCoEn says that the magnitudes of velocity v and displacement R are related by
(m/2)v2 – GMm/R = -E
everything being defined in the usual way .
Does a similar relation hold in case of S’Q = v and OP = r? Let’s check.
First, we label the sides and angles as
shown. On applying the Cosine Rule we
get
2v0vCos(φ) = v2 + v02 + f2
i.e. 2v0v(v/2(v0 – r) = v2 + v02 + f2
i.e. (v0/(v0 – r))v2 – v2 = v02 + f2 = k (say)
i.e. (v0/(v0 – r) – 1)v2 = k
i.e. v2 = k(v0 – r)/r
i.e. (1/k)v2 – v0 /r = – 1
Q
v0 - r

which has the same form as is required
by LoCoEn.

12. Tying up the Loose Ends
Q1: We have only shown that the ellipse is a solution. Is it the only
solution?
In general, no (parabolas and hyperbolas admitted), but for
closed trajectories, yes.
This is because, Newtonian mechanics is deterministic. The
planet cannot be in a quandary as to which path it should follow.
If ellipse is a solution, it must be the only solution.
Q2: This was Feynman and Hamilton’s proof. How did Newton go
about it in his Principia (1687)?
Instead of cutting up the orbit into arcs subtending equal angles
at the sun, he cut it up into arcs subtending equal areas at the
sun.
