Physics · Classical Mechanics
A bead is constrained to move along a long, massless, frictionless horizontal rod parallel to the x-axis. The rod itself moves vertically upward along the z-direction against gravity with a constant speed, starting from z = 0 at t = 0, and remains horizontal. If the conjugate momenta are denoted by px, py, pz and the Hamiltonian by H, which of the following options is correct?
- 1H is not the total energy of the system, but it is conserved
- 2H is not the total energy of the system and is not conserved✓
- 3H is the total energy of the system and is not conserved
- 4H is the total energy of the system and is conserved
Correct answer
H is not the total energy of the system and is not conserved
