Physics 321

Hour 39Final Review

When, Where, etc.• Be on time!• Classroom• Counts 10% of the total grade

What to Study• Tests 1 & 2• Sample Tests 1 - 3• 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 – 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
