Classical Mechanics Revisited
نویسنده
چکیده
Two linear algebra based strategies are presented to deal with general classical mechanics problems with constraints. Classical concepts such as holonomic and nonholonomic constraints, virtual displacements, principle of virtual work, Hamilton’s principle and method of Lagrange multipliers are critiqued.

The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics the Vacuum Structure, Special Relativity Theory and Quantum Mechanics Revisited: a Field Theory-no-geometry Approach
The main fundamental principles characterizing the vacuum field structure are formulated, the modeling of the related vacuum medium and charged point particle dynamics by means of devised field theoretic tools are analyzed. The Maxwell electrodynamic theory is revisited and newly derived from the suggested vacuum field structure principles, the classical special relativity theory relationship b...
متن کاملLie fields revisited
A class of interacting classical random fields (which are “quantum random fields” in the sense that they have Poincaré invariant vacua with a fluctuation scale determined by h̄) is constructed using deformed algebras of creation and annihilation operators. The fields constructed are classical random field realizations of “Lie fields”.
متن کاملQuantum Mysteries Revisited Again
This paper describes a device, consisting of a central source and two widely separated detectors with six switch settings each, that provides a simple gedanken demonstration of the non-classical correlations that are the subject of Bell’s theorem without relying on either statistical effects or the occurrence of rare events. The mechanism underlying the operation of the device is revealed for r...
متن کاملReply to “The three-box paradox revisited” by Ravon and Vaidman
The Three-Box “paradox” was introduced by Aharonov and Vaidman (1991) (henceforth “AV”); it has been engaged in controversy regarding its significance and meaning ever since. Vaidman (e.g., (1999a), (1999b)) has presented it as strange even within the ordinary strangeness of quantum mechanics. I have argued (Kirkpatrick, 2003a) for what I see as the quite ordinary, non-paradoxical nature of the...
متن کاملThe relation between momentum conservation and the Newton’s third law revisited
Under certain conditions usually fulfilled in classical mechanics, the principle of conservation of linear momentum and the Newton’s third law are equivalent. However, the demonstration of such fact is usually incomplete in textbooks. We shall show here that to demonstrate the equivalence, we require the explicit use of the principle of superposition contained in the Newton’s second law. On the...
