... • Suppose we are looking at the movement of a classical particle. The relevant variables here are position x(t) and momentum p(t). • For example, angular momentum L⃗=x⃗×p⃗ . Since x and p depend on the time, L also depends on time, but in this case it does so only because x and p depend on time. We ...

... Two blocks of masses M and 3M are placed on a horizontal, frictionless surface. A light spring is attached to one of them, and the blocks are pushed together with the spring between them. A cord initially holding the blocks together is burned; after this, the block of mass 3M moves to the right wit ...

... A 60.0-kg person running at an initial speed of 4.00 m/s jumps onto a 120-kg cart initially at rest (Figure below). The person slides on the cart’s top surface and finally comes to rest relative to the cart. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the person and the cart is 0.400. Friction betw ...
