write the hamilton equation for point mass moving in a straight line?
As the particle is moving aling straight line, the motion of the particle is one dimentional. So I will take the position of the particle at time ' t ' as x = x(t).
You have not given any expression for the potential energy of the particle. So I will assume the potential is a function of x, and denote it by V(x).
If it a free particle in one dimension, then just put V(x) = 0.

Let's take the mass of the particle is ' m ', the velocity of the particle is ' v ', the momentum of the particle is ' px ' .
