In Chapter 4 (at the end of Section 4.7) I claimed that, for a system with one degree of freedom, positions of stable equilibrium "normally" correspond to minima of the potential energy U (q). Using Lagrangian mechanics, you can now prove this claim. (a) Consider a one-degree system of N particles wi

Consider a particle of mass in and charge q moving in a uniform constant magnetic field B in the z direction. (a) Prove that B can be written as B= V x A with A = 413 x r. Prove equivalently that in cylindrical polar coordinates, A = 1Bp b. (b) Write the Lagrangian (7.103) in cylindrical polar coordi

It appears that there is a significant relationship between cognitive ability and social status, at least for birds. Boogert, Reader, and Laland (2006) measured social status and individual learning ability for a group of starlings. The following data represent results similar to those obtained in th
