     Based on Kepler's three laws, and the conservation laws of mechanic energy and angular moment about a mass point moving on an elliptic trajectory under an inverse-squared centric force, the mean values within a period of some typical physical quantity (polar radiurs,speed, angular speed, angular momentum, rotation inertia, kinetical energy,potential energy,and so on) ,are calculated and several interesting and useful mean-value relations are found and proved. A unique mean-value point on the path of the mass point is emphasized. The Virial theorem is direct proved by means of these calculated mean values. The physical meanings, and teaching reference significance of these findings are also emphasized.

    The paper systemically describes the fundamental principle of the Green,s function method. It demonstrates that the reversal relation holds only for the case of self-adjoint operator. The homogeneous boundary condition of the Green,s function also comes from the self-adjointness of the differential operator while the Green integral formula does not directly apply to the non-self-adjoint operator. The paper also addresses perturbation expansion method induced by the Green,s function, shows its relation to the popular Feynman diagram technique in physical science so as to help the student understanding the internal logics when learning advanced physics.

    Critical-slowing-down of nonlinear systems at bifurcation points
    ZHANG Jie, DU Yao, LI Qing, YU Yi-zhen, LI Hai-hong, WANG Xin-gang
    College Physics    2023, 42 (05): 9-.   DOI: 10.16854/j.cnki.1000-0712.220240

    As a key concept in nonlinear science, Lyapunov exponent has been extensively studied in literature. In general, to analyze the stability of a dynamical state, it is the sign of the Lyapunov exponent that is interested. Yet, this approach fails when the state is located exactly at the bifurcation point, where the Lyapunov exponent is equal to zero, suggesting that the perturbations will be keeping unchanged during the system evolution at this point. This prediction, however, is conflicting with the true results, as attractors also exist at the bifurcation points. Here we are able to argue mathematically and demonstrate numerically that at the bifurcation points the perturbation is damped by a power-law scaling to the equilibrium, with the scaling exponent determined by the nonlinear term of the variational equation of the perturbations. That is, the dynamics of the system shows the typical feature of critical slowing down observed at the critical point of many physical systems. The phenomenon of critical-slowing-down is demonstrated in different nonlinear models, and the theoretical predictions are in good agreement with the numerical results in all cases studied.

    The Boycott effect was discovered by Boycott that oxalated or defibrinated blood corpuscles sediment much faster in an inclined tube than in a vertical one. This paper derivatives research whether the sedimentation of insoluble particles in oblique vessel filled with distilled water also has boycott effect and investigate the effect of relevant parameters. Refer to PNK theory to study the influence of the three parameters on the settlement rate that affect the system, namely suspension interface velocity in a vertical container, the width of the container, and the angle of inclination. At the same time, through experiments, the effect of different parameters on sedimentation rate is explored, and compared with the theoretical analysis. The results show that insoluble particles also has boycott effect; as the angle of inclination increases, the sedimentation rate of the particles in it increases first and then slows down; the width of the container and the suspension interface velocity in a vertical container is always positively correlated with the sedimentation rate.

    Helmholtz equation is a kind of elliptic partial differential equation, which is used to characterize the propagation law of electromagnetic wave. When solving Helmholtz equation in cylindrical coordinate system, most textbooks use the method of separating variables to introduce, but most textbooks do not have a detailed classification and discussion of the results of separating variables, nor do they explain its practical application, which makes it difficult for beginners to understand and master physical meanings. In this paper, the Helmholtz equation is solved by the method of separating variables, the form of solution is discussed systematically, and the typical applications of various results are analyzed by means of electromagnetic simulation and numerical calculation. It has a certain reference significance for the teaching and research of electromagnetic field theory.

    The relativity between motional and induced electromotive forces is investigated. The reasons are analyzed for the variation in value of total induced electromotive force for different reference frames. A general formula is proposed for calculating the total induced electromotive force under transformation of reference frame. The total induced electromotive forces of rectangular and circular coils moving outside an infinity long wire carries direct current are calculated. The total induced electromotive force measured by the moving observer is equal to the sum of the electromotive forces measured at different positions of the conductor with different times by the stationary observer.

    From the strict derivation of transverse vibration of string, the explicit solution of wave velocity is obtained. Through measuring the wavelength and eigen frequency of resonance, the experiment value of wave velocity is also obtained, which is well agreed with the theoretical value. The transverse vibration equation of beam is also solved exactly. The simulation of the problem which one end is clamped and the other is free, is performed. The expressions of first several resonant eigen frequencies and the sites of standing-wave nodes are obtained so as to get the general solution. Further, the fundamental frequencies and resonant frequencies of the previous order overtone of steel slender strips under different lengths are measured. The co-ordinates of standing-wave nodes are observed and equivalent to the theoretical results, and the Young’s modulus of the strips are calculated, which are well corresponded with standard values. Furthermore, the case of small radial vibration of ring is popularized. The resonant frequencies and wavelengths are also measured, and the elastic modulus of circular cross section ring are obtained, where are also accorded with the existing values.
