7.1.1 The Position Vector in Polar Coordinate

r  x iˆ  y ˆj , r  r cos iˆ  sin  ˆj 
rˆ  r cos iˆ  r sin  ˆj
 
 
r  r cos iˆ  sin  ˆj  r  r rˆ
r  r rˆ is sometimes confusing, because the equation as written seems to make no

reference to the angle  . We know that two parameters needed to specify a position in
two dimensional space (in Cartesian coordinates they are x and y ), but the equation
r  r rˆ seems to contain only the quantity r . The answer is that r̂ is not a fixed vector
and we need to know the value of  to tell how r̂ is origin. Although  does not occur
explicitly in r r̂ , its value must be known to fix the direction of r̂ . This would be
apparent if we wrote r  r rˆ   to emphasize the dependence of r̂ on  . However, by
common conversation r̂ is understood to stand for r̂   .

7.2 Central Force

In classical mechanics, the central-force problem is to determine the motion of a
particle under the influence of a single central force. A central force is a force that points
from the particle directly towards (or directly away from) a fixed point in space, the
center, and whose magnitude only depends on the distance of the object to the center.
In central force potential V is only function of r and only central force is always
a conservative force; the magnitude F of a central force can always be expressed as the
derivative of a time-independent potential energy

And the force F is defined as F   rˆ (force is only in radial direction)

m( r  2r)  F but for central force,
    V
  r  Fr    rrˆ   rˆ ,

External torque   0 , so angular momentum is conserved

 
momentum vector J and hence J is conserved, its magnitude and direction both are

fixed so direction of r is also fixed.

So, motion due to central force is confined into a plane and angular momentum J is
perpendicular to that plane.

Example: Given a classical model of tritium atom with nucleus of charge +1 and a single
electron in a circular orbit of radius r0 . Suddenly the nucleus emits a negatron and
changes to charge +2 (the emitted negatron escapes rapidly and we can forget about it)
the orbit suddenly has a new situation.
(a) Find the ratio of the electron’s energy after to before the emission of the negatron
(b) Describe qualitatively the new orbit
(c) Find the distance of closest and the farthest approach for the new orbits in units of r0
Solution: (a) As the negatron leaves the system rapidly, we can assume that its leaving
has no effect on the position and kinetic energy of the orbiting electron.
From the force relation for the electron,
mv02 e2 mv02 e2
 , and we find its kinetic energy 
r0 4 0 r02 2 8 0 r0
and its total mechanical energy
mv02 e2 e2
E1   
2 4 0 r0 8 0 r0
before the emission of the negatron. After the emission the kinetic energy of the electron
e2 2e2 e 2
is still , while its potential energy suddenly changes to 
8 0 r0 4 0 r0 2 0 r0
Thus after the emission the total mechanical energy of the orbiting electron is
mv02 2e 2 3e 2 E
E2    , giving 2  3 .
2 4 0 r0 8 0 r0 E1
In other words, the total energy of the orbiting electron after the emission is three times
as large as that before the emission.

(b) As E2  , the condition equation (i) for circular motion is no longer satisfied
8 0 r0
and the new orbit is an ellipse.
(c) Conservation of energy gives

At positions where the orbiting electron is at the distance of closest or farthest approach
to the atom, we have r  0 , for which

Then, with J 2  m 2 v02 r02 

From above equations
3r 2  4r0 r  r02  0

the solutions are r  , r  r0

Hence, the distances of closest and farthest approach in the new orbit are respectively,
