Formula in Theory of Complex Spectra. II of Giulio Racah

Staring from the given definition of $ f(m_{1}, m_{2} ; j ,m)$: \begin{multline} \tag{1} f(m_{1}, m_{2} ; j ,m)=f(m_{1}, m_{2} ; j, j -u)=\\ A_{j} \sum_{t}(-1)^{t} \left( \begin{array}{l} u \\ t …

Bowling ball rolling with slipping at the instant it stops

Quoting your word: "but I don't understand how this can happen as friction will be pointing in the same direction as velocity." The bold sentence is not correct. The kinetic friction is opposite to yo …

What's the definition of angular momentum on a two-body system?

The angular momentum $\vec{L}$ and torque $\vec{\tau}$ are both dependent on the choice of the origin. But the relation between them is not dependent on the choice of coordinate. Angular momentum is n …

Why is angular momentum conserved in a central field?

Your reasoning about the angular momentums is corrrect. What is needed is an interpretation: note that $\frac{d\vec{L}}{dt} = \vec{\tau}$, and both $\vec{L}$ and $\vec{\tau}$ are dependent on the cho …

About the calculation of the Spin-orbit correction for the Hydrogen atom

You are mixed up the wave funciton, the radial part and the angular part, A wave fcuntoin spacified by indexes $n$, $l$, $m$: $$ \tag{1} \Psi_{nlm}(r, \theta, \phi) u_s(\theta, \phi) = f_{nl}(r) Y_{l …

Confusion regarding angular momentum of a tilted rod

Your projection of the inertial moment into the rotational axis, $\hat a$, is not correct. Starting with your inertial moment in your $\hat i$ (along the rod) and $\hat j$ (perpendicular to the rod) c …

Conservation of angular momentum of disk and block

A conceptual error: The parallel axis theorem is used to find the inertial moment about an rotating axis which is not the CM. In this problem, the disk is not rotating about the CM (for rock and disc …
