We have examined the Particle in a Box problem in one dimension, meaning that we consider only one variable, x. We can go to higher dimensions, for example, we can consider what this would look like if we wanted to think about both x and y. In that case we would need to make some changes. The potential energy V(x) would become V(x,y), but would behave in a similar way as before. It would equal infinity if either x or...

Show for stationary eigenstates of the Schrodinger equation in one dimension. Qualitatively explain why the eigenfunction ψ(x) is smooth, i.e., its first derivative dψ/dx is continuous, even when the potential V (x) has a discontinuity (a finite jump). Hints: use the delta function

A potential energy function is given by U(x) = x^(−8)e^x^2 . Let’s only focus on the region where x > 0. a) Find the position where the potential energy is a minimum b) For small oscillations around this minimum, what is the angular frequency ω? c) At what distance (either to the left or right) from the equilibrium point is the exact value of the force (derived from the full potential) more than 10% different from the force corresponding to...

U (potential energy)=(k q1 q2)/r=V¬1 (voltage)*q2 ; Ekin = (1/2) m v2 How much energy must a single electron have as it leaves a 1.5 V potential assuming it started from rest? How fast must that electron be moving as a result? How much energy can that electron release before it comes to a stop, and why?

When we compress a spring from equilibrium to x cm, we gain a elastic potential energy. When we compress the spring from x cm to 2x cm we gain an elastic potential energy which is equal to that of the first case 2. A body is at rest on a table. Regarding the force that the table exerts on the body, it can be said that: A) It is equal to the weight of the body B) It is greater...

For an object moving along the x axis, the potential energy of the frictionless system is shown in the figure. Suppose the object is released from rest at the point A. 1 of 1The figure shows potential energy U as a function of the x coordinate. Seven points are marked on the graph, labeled from A to G. The graph starts at some positive value at point A, then forms a narrow convex curve to point B lower than A,...
