When, Where, etc. Be on time! Classroom Counts 10% of the total grade
What to Study Tests 1 & 2 Sample Tests Review 3
What to Expect 6 problems, 4 fro new material Solids, Euler angles Coupled Oscillators Chaos Scattering, cm kinematics More quantitative than qualitative Several will probably finish in 1 ½ hours
Problems – First Material Basic force/torque problems + drag, Lorentz Basic Lagrangian Lagrange Multiplier Hamiltonian Potential Energy Rotating Coordinate Systems
Problems – Last Material Solids: Inertia tensor, finding principal axes and principal moments Solids: Euler’s equations, Euler’s angles, constants of motion, precession-spin-nutation Coupled Oscillators: Lagrangian in Matrix form, finding normal modes and frequencies Chaos: No repeated motion, sensitive to initial conditions, harmonics, state space, frequency doubling in onset to chaos Scattering: cm, solid angle, impact parameter, finding cross sections, definitions
