Question 1
The position vector for a moving particle is given by

r (t )  iˆ sin t  ˆj 2 cos t , where t represents time greater than zero.
1.1 Determine the x and y coordinates of the particle for a range of values of t, from t=0 to
t=π in steps of π/6 and plot the path of the particle in the xy plane. (5)
1.2 Determine the tangent (velocity) vector to the path. (1)

1.3 Determine the angle between the position vector and the velocity vector at t=0 and t= π/6.

Questions 3
Consider the following surface integral

S

where S is the portion of the surface z 2  x 2  y 2 between the planes z=1 and z=2 above the
x-y plane, and n̂ is the outward (upward) unit normal to the surface.

3.1 Make neat fully labeled sketch of the surface of integration and identify the area projected
onto the x-y plane. (4)

Question 9
Solve the one dimensional Schrodinger equation for the wave function and possible energies
for a particle trapped in an infinite one dimensional well of width L, i.e. solve:

2 2 
   V  j 
2m x 2
t

where
0 for  L / 2  x  L / 2
V
 elsewhere
and Ψ=0 at x=0 and x=L. Use the fact that the eigenvalues of the LHS are the energies, E,
of the particle. (18)
