This problem will familiarize you with uncertainty relations and minimum uncertainty states, and will train you in using matrix notation and angular momentum operators. a) reproduce the derivation of the uncertainty relation between the components jr and jy of an angular momentum vector for any state (0) by starting with the positive-definite quantity (jz – (jx) + im(jy – (jy))|4)||* > 0 (1) and writing it as a positive-definite quadratic expression in 1, as we did in class (rather than the schwartz inequality used in the textbook). b) for the uncertainty relation to be "saturated' (that is, to become an equality), the above quantity must vanish. assume a state that satisfies (jx+ixjv) = 0 and show that for this state (jx) = (ju) = 0. such a state is (a particular case of) a minimum uncertainty state for jy and jy. c) for spin 1 (j = 1, m = -1; 0; 1) the state 4) becomes a column 3-vector with components corresponding to m = 1 (top), m = 0 (middle) and m = -1 (bottom). write down the 3 x 3 matrices representing jr, jy and j, as well as the operators j+ = jr ijy. d) write down the equation (j. + ) = 0 in matrix form for the case of spin 1 and find the components of the vector in terms of . assume that is normalized and choose its overall phase such that all its components be real. (hint: it may be to express the above equation in terms of j+ and e) for the state that you found above, calculate ajx, ajy and (iz) in terms of , and show that the uncertainty relation is saturated.

On a horizontal frictionless surface, a small block with mass 0.200 kg has a collision with a block of mass 0.400 kg. immediately after the collision, the 0.200 kg block is moving at 12.0 m/s in the direction 30° north of east and the 0.400 kg block is moving at 11.2 m/s in the direction 53.1° south of east. use coordinates where the +x-axis is east and the +y-axis is north.(a) what is the total kinetic energy of the two blocks after the collision (in ) what is the x-component of the total momentum of the two blocks after the collision? (indicate the direction with the sign of your ) what is the y-component of the total momentum of the two blocks after the collision? (indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)

We will use a video to study faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction by analyzing the induction that occurs due a coil of copper wire sliding along an air track that passes through an external magnetic field. specifically, we will: examine some of the main principles behind faraday’s law. apply lenz’s law to determine the direction of the induced emf. take measurements of the induced emf from the voltmeter as the coil passes into and out of the external magnetic field. use the horizontal scale provided to determine the speed of the coil. calculate the magnetic field induced in the coil as it passes into and out of the external magnetic field.
