CHAPTER Problem.: (a) Because the system is conservative, ΔE = 0 an ΔK = ΔU M kg G m newton R m kg ΔK= v e = MmG = Mm G r R r=r so, v e M G v e.84 km R sec (b) A circular orbit woul imply that r = 0 mθ r = mm but θ = r v r so v r = MG r r 50km km istance from center of earth to shuttle MG v v 7.85 time km r sec (c) Distance from earth to moon from orbit information τ 7.34hr θ r= MG r 3 π θ θ sec τ conition for a circular orbit MG r r θ 5 km Problem.: (a) x ux ( ) 4 x x 6 f( x) x ux ( )

3 Chapter Page.3 m x x m x m m X = = x M M x or x = X M x Subsitute these equations into the expression for E E = m X m M x m m X M x Ux which simplifies to E M X = μ x Ux Problem.4: m x = rcosθ L = x y Equations for transformation to polar coorinates y = rsinθ x = rcosθ rθsinθ by ifferentiation of the transformation eqns. y = rsinθ rθcosθ x y = r cosθ sinθ r θ cosθ sinθ = r r θ after some algebra Thus, L m r = m r θ Problem.5: Note: Assume L is much greater than the pulley iameter K M x = M x = U = M g( L x) M gx x M M (see figure on next page) L = M M x M g( L x) M gx Fin erivatives for use in Langrange's equations:

4 Chapter Page.4 x L = M M x x L = M M g Thus, the equation of motion becomes M M x g M M = 0 or x = g M M M M Problem.6: The potential energy is u(r) = -C/r so the Lagrangian becomes: L m r m r θ C = see problem.4 for erivation of kinetic energy term in r polar coorinates r L r L = = mr mr θ C r θ L θ L = mr θ = 0 Fin partial erivatives to use in Lagrange's equations t ( mr ) t mr θ mr θ = 0= C = 0 () r t l Rearranging gives: mr = mr θ C rθ = rθ r Lagrange's eqns of motion () Note: l mr θ is the angular momentum. Since by this eqn, l/t = 0, angular momentum is conserve. Problem.7:

These inclue 4! ways of arranging the re balls, 3! ways of arranging the white balls an 5! ways of arranging the blue balls. N N Problem.9: (a) Put one of the bulbs in anywhere. This has a probabilty of unity an fixes the starting location. It oes not matter where this bulb is place as ientical orering is obtaine if the positions are all rotate. Thus, P 6 P 70 (b) First consier the case where the bulbs in question are ajacent. We then treat them as a single unit. Then there are 5! ways of arranging the 6 objects. However, for each of these orerings, we can switch the orer of the bulbs taken as the single unit. The number of arrangements in which the bulbs are not together is just the total number of arrangements minus the arrangements when they are together. Thus, N together 5 N total 6 N apart N total N together
