Charged particle following magnetic field lines

For a charged particle in a magnetic field the equation of motion is $$\frac {d \vec v}{dt}=\frac q m \left[\frac {\vec v} c \times \vec B(\vec x)\right]$$ Then, if $\vec B$ is a slowly changing field …

Rotation as an example of symmetry in classical mechanics

I modified the question because it was confused. On my book there is this mathematical definition of symmetry transformation: "The equations of motion have a symmetry, if the solutions of the equ …

What's the physical meaning of the standard base vectors?

I can find 3 displacement $\vec d_1 ,\vec d_2, \vec d_3$ and use them as basis so that a displacement is $\vec d=a\vec d_1 +b\vec d_2+c \vec d_3$. I can find 3 forces $\vec F_1 ,\vec F_2, \vec F_3$ an …

Understanding the definition of tangent basis

This question could sound silly but I though a lot about it and I'm not new to physics. Let's say I have a plane on which I use polar coordinates, it means a point $P$ can be indicated by its coordin …

Active and passive transformation

Some active transformations on the system can be seen also as passive transformations, for example the rotation of the system can be seen as the rotation of the observer in the opposite direction. Any …
