Linear Equations01:27

Linear Equations

473
Linear equations form the foundation of many algebraic and real-world applications, characterized by their simplicity and utility. A linear equation is an algebraic statement in which each term is either a constant or a product of a constant and a single variable. These equations represent straight lines when plotted on a Cartesian coordinate plane, reflecting a constant rate of change between two quantities.A typical linear equation in one variable has the form: ax + b = c, where a, b, and c...

Linear Differential Equations

The integrating factor method provides a systematic way to solve first-order linear differential equations, especially those that cannot be handled by separation of variables. This method is particularly useful in modeling time-dependent physical systems influenced by both constant inputs and resistive forces. A common example is the motion of a car subjected to a constant engine force while experiencing air resistance proportional to its velocity.In such scenarios, Newton’s second law...

The Quantum-Mechanical Model of an Atom

57.2K
Shortly after de Broglie published his ideas that the electron in a hydrogen atom could be better thought of as being a circular standing wave instead of a particle moving in quantized circular orbits, Erwin Schrödinger extended de Broglie’s work by deriving what is now known as the Schrödinger equation. When Schrödinger applied his equation to hydrogen-like atoms, he was able to reproduce Bohr’s expression for the energy and, thus, the Rydberg formula governing hydrogen spectra.

Application of the Linear Momentum Equation01:15

Application of the Linear Momentum Equation

425
The application of the linear momentum equation can be used to analyze the forces needed to hold a 180-degree pipe bend in place with flowing water. In this case, water flows through the bend with a constant cross-sectional area of 0.01 square meters and a flow velocity of 15 meters per second. The pressure at the entrance is 0.2 Megapascals and the pressure at the exit is 0.16 Megapascals.
The goal is to determine the force components in the x and y directions to hold the pipe in place. Since...

Systems of Linear Equations in Two Variables

305
Solving a system of linear equations is a fundamental concept in algebra. A system of equations consists of two or more linear equations involving the same set of variables. One of the most efficient algebraic methods for solving such systems is the substitution method. This technique involves expressing one variable in terms of the other from one equation and substituting it into the second equation. This method is particularly useful when one of the equations is easily rearranged.Consider the...
