The function ψ(x) displayed in Eq. 38-19 describes a free particle, for which we assumed that U(x) = 0 in Schrodinger's equation (Eq. 38-15). Assume now that U(x) = U0 = a constant in that equation. Show that Eq. 38-19 is still a solution of Schr6dinger's equation, with now giving the angular wave number k of the particle.

A merry-go-round with a moment of inertia equal to 1260 kg·m2 and a radius of 2.5 m rotates with negligible friction at 1.70 rad/s. A child initially standing still next to the merry-go-round jumps onto the edge of the platform straight toward the axis of rotation, causing the platform to slow to...

One result of the NAEP reading tests is that students in private schools tend to score significantly higher than students in public schools. Does this imply that private schools are “better” than public schools? Defend your opinion.
Product S has revenue of $ 149,000, variable cost of goods sold of $ 88,500, variable selling expenses of $ 24,500, and fixed costs of $ 40,000, creating a loss from operations of $ 4,000. Prepare a differential analysis as of September 12, 2014, to determine if Product S should be continued...
There are 30 students in a class and they all eat at least one meal - breakfast or lunch before 1:00 pm; 15 students eat breakfast, 20 students eat lunch. What is the probability that a student chosen at random from the class eats both breakfast and lunch? A television news director wishes to use...
In some ordering problems, like the one for Sam’s Bookstore, whenever demand exceeds existing inventory, the excess demand is not lost but is filled by expedited orders–at a premium cost to the company. Change Sam’s model to reflect this behavior. Assume that the unit cost of expediting is...
