@empty

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

I made a post cause I had odd number questions asked and that looked gross

OpenStudy (empty):

cool let's check it out

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Now find the force law for a central force field that allows a particle to move in a logarithmic spiral orbit given by \[r = k e^{\alpha \theta}\], where k and alpha are constants

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

I guess I should give you some things that will help you lol, \[\frac{ d^2 }{ d \theta ^2 } \left( \frac{ 1 }{ r } \right)+\frac{ 1 }{ r } = -\frac{ \mu r^2 }{ l^2 }F(r)\] it's pretty easy actually

OpenStudy (empty):

lol what is all of this I've never seen this before

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is a university physics I assume?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Fansy stuff hitting the fan

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

This has to do with central force motion, I just assume you know everything

OpenStudy (anonymous):

empty like my soul

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know the centripetal acceleration but never heard of central force

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Err this will take some time to explain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I say we shoot each other with physics knowledge

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am although a classical physicist

OpenStudy (empty):

I could probably figure this out but I feel like there's some method of doing this or reason for doing this.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There is reason for everything

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Especially physics is a process of becoming a god

OpenStudy (empty):

Haha cool so what about chemistry?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Chemistry is more earthy application based study

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is nothing theoretical about it whereas physics most are

OpenStudy (empty):

Oh what do you know about chemistry?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

empirical vs theoretical

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Chemistry is all knowable

OpenStudy (empty):

What does that mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Everything is empirical in chemistry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Physics mostly rely on the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics at explaining the physical phenomena.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anyway let's get down to the central force business

OpenStudy (empty):

Hahaha "Everything is empirical in chemistry"

OpenStudy (empty):

I'll be damned if there aren't 8 things listed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theoretical_chemistry#Branches_of_theoretical_chemistry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

central force depends on the distance between spherically symmetric object and the object being pondered

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

It has to do with the motion of a system consisted of two bodies affected by a force that is directed along the line connecting the centres of the two bodies, this is the central force. |dw:1438444424125:dw|
