Ignoring the small radiative back-reaction, conservation of energy gives and Newton's equation gives . Integrating the Larmor formula with yields, for ,
If , the particle turns at defined by and traverses the accelerated region twice, so the same formula holds with twice the integral from to .
For a particle in the scalar potential energy ,
The canonical commutation relation gives
The Ehrenfest theorem with therefore gives
Since and direct action on a wavefunction gives ,
Finally has no explicit time dependence and , so
The first two equations are the expectation-value counterparts of momentum equals mass times velocity and Newton's second law; the last is conservation of energy. They become the classical equations directly when the force varies negligibly across the wave packet, so that . These conclusions are summarized by the classical equations from Ehrenfest theorem.
The force is central force, so its torque about the star vanishes. The specific angular momentum is therefore constant:
Taking the scalar product of with gives
Thus conservation of energy gives the second constant
Conservation of energy and Fourier's law give
At steady state is constant. Since ,
The two temperature boundary conditions therefore give
At the basal phase boundary, the Stefan condition is
The first term removes latent heat released by freezing, while the oceanic flux supplies heat to the interface. A steady shell has , hence and
Here must simultaneously satisfy the surface balance from part a with .
Two equal uniform rods of length and mass , one pivoted to the floor and the other endpoint sliding on it, have arch coordinates and . The kinetic energy decomposition about the center of mass gives , while gravitational potential energy is . Conservation of energy from rest at angle gives the displayed equation and hinge impact speed , provided contact is maintained. The endpoint's normal reaction becomes negative during this constrained fall if ; a unilateral floor then permits detachment and the constrained formula no longer describes the entire motion.
Uniform-sphere collapse with a cosmological constant Created 2026-10-05 Updated 2026-10-07
For fixed mass , a uniform sphere of physical radius has and , using the convention in which its outward acceleration is . The virial theorem reads . Defining and , conservation of energy gives . The collapsing branch has . For small positive cosmological constant, it is more compact at fixed turnaround data, even though the outward force inhibits turnaround and collapse.
