For a neutrally buoyant horizontal turbulent round jet, a segment's horizontal momentum flux changes only if an external horizontal force or ambient momentum input exists. Neither is present, soPositive buoyancy adds a vertical force, not a horizontal one. Therefore $d{M}_x/ds=0$ remains true for an inclined forced plume even when $F_0\ne 0$; in general $M_x=M_0\cos {\theta }_0$.

The net upward force on a segment is $g({\rho }_0-\rho )\pi b^{2}ds$. Since $F=g({\rho }_0-\rho )\pi b^{2}V$ and $V=|\mathbf{M}|/Q$, vertical momentum balance givesIn kinematic plume fluxes, the equations are $m_x^{\prime }=0$, $m_z^{\prime }=fq/m$, where $m=(m_x^2+m_z^2{)}^{1/2}$. The centreline geometry satisfiesFor $F_0>0$, $Q>0$ beyond the source, and an initially nonvertical turbulent round jet pointing right, $M_z$ increases and the centreline turns toward the vertical. The magnitude of momentum flux is not conserved once the tangent has a vertical component.

Put $m_0=M_0/{\rho }_0$ and $f_0=F_0/{\rho }_0>0$ under the literal mass convention. Their dimensions are $[m_0]=L^4{T}^{-2}$ and $[f_0]=L^4{T}^{-3}$. Dimensional analysis givesThe jet length compares source momentum with buoyancy. The region near the source behaves as a turbulent round jet; sufficiently far away, the forced plume behaves like a pure plume. With the constant entrainment coefficient retained explicitly, substantial turning occurs over a length of order ${\ell }_J=L_J/\sqrt{E}$, where $E=2\alpha \sqrt{\pi }$. Statements involving $s\ll L_J$ or $s\gg L_J$ normally hold this dimensionless coefficient fixed.

Near the point source, $m\sim m_0$ and the Batchelor entrainment hypothesis gives $q\sim E\sqrt{m_0}s$. ThereforeIntegrating the centreline tangent givesTo leading order the centreline is a straight turbulent round jet at its source inclination. For the horizontal source, the first curvature is the horizontal forced-plume trajectoryFor a vertical source, $\cos {\theta }_0=0$, the trajectory stays vertical rather than developing this cubic transverse displacement. If $F_0=0$, there is no finite buoyancy-induced jet length and the turbulent round jet remains straight.

Write $E=|\mathbf{E}|$ and $\hat{\mathbf{E}}=\mathbf{E}/E$. The constant electric force gives momentumCombining $\mathbf{p}=\gamma m\dot{\mathbf{x}}$ with the relativistic energy-momentum relation givesThe dimensional analysis from part (a) confirms that $qEt$ has the dimensions of momentum, so $qEt/(mc)$ is dimensionless and the expression has the dimensions of velocity.

The speed increases monotonically from zero and approaches the speed of light asymptotically:Integrating in the direction of the field givesAt small times, the Taylor expansion of the square root gives the nonrelativistic limitwhich is motion from rest with the constant acceleration $q\mathbf{E}/m$.

At time $t_0$, the accelerated proton has momentum $p=qE{t}_0$ and, by the relativistic energy-momentum relation, energyThe incident Cosmic microwave background photon adds energy $E_{\gamma }$. Since the final state contains only the Delta-plus baryon, conservation of relativistic energy gives its laboratory-frame Lorentz factorIts rest-frame decay time $t_{\Delta }$ is a proper time, so time dilation gives the laboratory decay time

With Lorentz factor $\gamma =(1-v^2/c^2{)}^{-1/2}$, the relativistic momentum and four-momentum areThe Newtonian formula $a=F/m$ fails because $p$ is not $mv$: both the magnitude and direction of $v$ affect $dp/dt$. Sincethe relativistic force isTaking the dot product with $v$ gives $F\cdot v=m{\gamma }^{3}v\cdot a$, and substitution yields the inverse relationThis is the requested sum of a vector parallel to $F$ and one parallel to $v$.

In the constant electric field, $dp/dt=qE$ and the particle starts with $p(0)=0$, so $p=qEt$. The relativistic energy-momentum relation impliesThus the speed increases monotonically but remains subluminal, and $v$ tends to $c$ in the direction of $qE$ as $t\to \infty$.

Let $M(t)=m_0-\alpha t$ be the trolley's remaining mass. During $dt$, the expelled mass $-dM$ has ground-frame velocity $v+u$. Conservation of momentum gives, to first order,and hence $Mdv=udM$. Integration yields the rocket equationAt the stopping time, $M=m_0{e}^{-v_0/u}$. Therefore the time spent ejecting gas is

Momentum conservation makes the sum of the two photon momenta parallel to $u$, so all three vectors are coplanar. Put the photons on opposite sides of the incident direction. Transverse and longitudinal momentum and energy conservation giveEliminating $E_1,E_2$ yieldsUsing the half-angle identities on the left gives exactly

Assume Newton's second law, $F_{ij}=-F_{ji}$, and that each internal pair force is central, so $F_{ij}$ is parallel to $r_i-r_j$. Summingcancels internal pairs and gives $dP/dt=F:={\sum }_i{F}_i$. Taking moments about fixed $a$ cancels the internal torques pairwise and gives

The angular momentum about the centre of mass result follows similarly: differentiating ${\sum }_i(r_i-R)\times m_i({\dot{r}}_i-\dot{R})$ introduces no extra term because both total relative position weighted by mass and total relative momentum vanish. Thus its derivative is the external torque about $R$.

Finally, if every mass is $m$ and $F_i=-k{\dot{r}}_i$, then about a fixed pointTherefore

During a short time $dt$, the rocket loses mass $-dm>0$. Conservation of upward momentum, including gravity's impulse and exhaust velocity $v-U$, gives to first orderwhich is the stated rocket equation.

Here $dm/dt=-\alpha$ and $U=U_0{m}_0/m$, soLift-off from rest requires positive initial acceleration,With $v(0)=0$, integration givesThe dimensions are $[m_0]=[m]=M$, $[\alpha ]=M/T$, $[U_0]=[U]=[v]=L/T$, $[g]=L/T^2$, and $[t]=T$. Both displayed terms in $v$ therefore have dimension $L/T$.

The pressure force in the $x$-direction on a rectangle of dimensions $\delta x\times \delta y$ isThe shear stress is ${\tau }_{xy}=\mu u_y$, so the net viscous force isThere is no convective acceleration. Dividing the momentum balance by the area and taking the limit givesThe $y$-momentum balance gives $p_y=0$, so the pressure depends only on $x$.

For steady flow the momentum equation isApplying no slip, $u(0)=0$ and $u(h)=U$, gives the Couette-Poiseuille flow in a thin gap

Let $x^{\mu }=(ct,\mathbf{x})$, let $\tau$ be proper time, and define the four-velocity and four-momentum byIf $F^{\mu \nu }$ is the electromagnetic field tensor, the covariant Lorentz force law isThe temporal component and three spatial components respectively giveHere $\mathcal{E}=\gamma m{c}^2$ is the relativistic energy and $\mathbf{p}=\gamma m\mathbf{v}$ is the relativistic momentum. In the nonrelativistic limit, $\gamma \to 1$, so the spatial equation becomesthe usual Lorentz-force law.

Momentum conservation is $P_A+P_B=P_C+P_D$. The diagonal bilinears are $P_a^2=m_a^2{c}^2$. The six off-diagonal ones areandThese express every bilinear invariant through the Mandelstam variables and masses. Expanding $s+t+u$ and using momentum conservation cancels all mixed products, leaving

For a general Lagrangian,Along an Euler-Lagrange trajectory,so energy is conserved when $L$ has no explicit time dependence.

For the given Lagrangian, write $v=|\dot{x}|$. At points where $v\ne 0$,The Euler-Lagrange equation is thereforeIn expanded form its left-hand side isThe momentum has fixed magnitude,so this is constant without needing to solve the equation of motion. The Hamiltonian is

The singular Legendre transform of a degree-one velocity Lagrangian applies here: $p$ determines only the direction of $\dot{x}$, not its magnitude, and the velocity Hessian is not invertible. Thus the usual inverse Legendre transform cannot reconstruct the Lagrangian from this Hamiltonian.

Taking the vertical component of the curl of the momentum equation givesThe continuity equation gives ${\eta }_t+h_0\nabla \cdot \mathbf{u}=0$, and henceSince initially $\mathbf{u}=0$ and $\eta ={\eta }_0$,Taking the divergence of the momentum equation and usinggivesDifferentiate continuity in time and substitute the last two identities to obtain

Let the Rossby deformation radius beThe even, decaying steady solution ofwith continuous value and derivative at $x=\pm a$ isThe steady momentum balance is a geostrophic balance:Thus the flow is parallel to the two edges of the raised strip, in opposite $y$-directions on the two sides; for $f>0$, it points toward $+y$ on the left and $-y$ on the right. Its magnitude is concentrated within a few deformation radii of the edges.
