Homework Statement
Consider a gas of 10^6 bosonic atoms at fixed temperature. Can you make an initially classical gas Bose condense by only changing the volume keeping the temperature fixed? Why?

Homework Statement
Consider 2 fermionic gases, each made of 10^6 atoms occupying 10^-3 m^3 volume: tritium, the nucleus containing one proton and two neutrons, and potassium, 19 protons and 21 neutrons. Which gas do you have to cool more in order for a Fermi surface to form? Find the ratio...
I think maybe the system is equivalent to the one shown in the attachement here...? I was thinking since the string or rod is massless and rigid...it could be taken out entirely...? The same goes for the pulleys which are massless also...
But hmm...when the mass goes up, both of the springs should be compressed, and when the mass goes down, both springs should be stretched...is it a series connection here?
Hmmm...I asked my prof, he suggested to draw a FBD on it...I guess that would be the mass. I'm going to work on the basis that the length of the string (or wire) doesn't change, and it is massless also (so are the pulleys).
Homework Statement
What is the solution of the equation x*exp(-x)=1?

The Attempt at a Solution
I tried taking the ln of both sides...and I got
ln(x*exp(-x))=ln(1)
ln(x)-ln(exp(x))=ln(1)
ln(x)-x=ln(1)
Then I don't know what to do next...am I on the right...
Homework Statement
Determine the natural frequency of the system in the figure (attached). Assume the pulleys are frictionless and are of negligible mass.
Homework Equations
k_eq=k_1+k_2 (springs connected in parallel)
k_eq=(1/k_1)+(1/k_2) (springs connected in series)
omega=sqrt(k/m)...
URGENT* Using Lorentz transform to find velocity of rod
Homework Statement
a person at the origin of an inertial reference frame S observes a rod of proper length l moving towards him at a speed v. He notes that the rod takes a time T to pass him. Assuing that when the front end of the rod...
How to get inverse Lorentz tranformation from "direct" Lorentz transformation
Hello, I am having trouble on deriving the inverse Lorentz transformation from the direct Lorentz transformation. I looked at some threads here and I found in here...
