Three spin-1/2 particles are fixed in position on the vertices of an equilateral triangle. the interaction amongst themselves and with a uniform external magnetic field, b, is described by the hamiltonian where s, i 1,3, are spin operators, and a is a constant (in units of energy/12). (a) obtain the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of h (b) discuss the degeneracies of the spectrum when b-0. (c) discuss the nature of the ground state when a 0 and when a < 0, still for b 0. (d) discuss the effect the magnetic field causes to the degeneracies when it is switched on.

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

the minimum constant speed at which she can catch the train is 2.7 m/s

given:

acceleration = 0.6

time = 4.5 s

to find:

velocity = ?

formula used:

from 1st kinematic equation we get,

v = u + at

u = initial speed of train = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the train

a = acceleration of the train

t = time

solution:

from 1st kinematic equation we get,

v = u + at

u = initial speed of train = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the train

a = acceleration of the train

t = time

v = 0 + (0.6 × 4.5)

v = 2.7 m/s

the minimum constant speed at which she can catch the train is 2.7 m/s
