ستتعلّم

  • Solve the equations of motion of projectiles and of harmonic oscillators, with and without damping.
  • Use conservation of energy and angular momentum to analyse motion under a central force and derive Kepler's laws.
  • Derive equations of motion from a Lagrangian using the Euler–Lagrange equations.

تعريف

  • Newton's second law: F = ma, where the acceleration a is the second derivative of position.
  • A force field F is conservative if F = −∇V for some potential V.
  • The Lagrangian of a system is L = T − V, kinetic energy minus potential energy.

مبرهنة

  • For conservative forces the total energy T + V is conserved.
  • Under a central force, angular momentum is conserved and the motion stays in a plane.
  • Bound orbits under an inverse-square attractive force are ellipses (Kepler's first law).

مفاهيم خاطئة شائعة

  • Thinking a force is needed to keep an object moving at constant velocity.
  • Confusing mass with weight.

اكتشافات اختيارية

  • Smooth manifolds Configuration spaces are manifolds, and Hamiltonian mechanics lives on cotangent bundles with their symplectic structure.
