A block of mass m on a horizontal frictionless tabletop isattached by a swivel to a spring that is attached to the ceiling.The vertical distance between the top of the block and the ceilingis yo, and the horizontal position is x, when the block is at x =0, the spring, which has force constant k, is completelyunstressed. (a) what is Fx, the x component of the force on theblock due to the spring, as a function of x? (b) show that Fx isproportional to x^3 for sufficiently small values of [x]. (c) Ifthe block is released from rest at x = xo, where [xo] << yo,what is its speed when it reaches x=0?

Suppose a wave function can be written as psi(x)=(1/2)(phi1)+1/4(phi2)+((3+(root2)i)/4)(phi3) Where phi 1, 2, and 3are normalized eigenfunctions of the kinetic energy operator withthe eigen values E, 3E, and 7E. Verify that psi(x) isnormalized.

Define the Schwarzian derivative of a function v to be
S(v)= (v’’’÷ v’)- 3/2(v’’÷v’) ^2
a. Prove that if f and g are both solutions to y’’+q(x)y= 0 then v=f/g is a solution to the third order differential equation S(v)=2q(x)
b. As an interesting follow up suppose again that f and g are bothsolutions to y’’+q(x)y= 0. Letting v= fg, prove that v satisfiesthe second order, non-linear differential equation 2yy’’= (y’)^2-4y^2q(x)
