Is momentum hamiltonian operator is hermitian operator?

The hamiltonian operator is the observable corresponding to the total energy of the system. As with all observables it is given by a hermitian or self adjoint operator. This is true whether the hamiltonian is limited to momentum or contains potential.


Is every unitary matrix hermitian?

Absolutely not. They are rather quite different: hermitian matrices usually change the norm of vector while unitary ones do not (you can convince yourself by taking the spectral decomposition: eigenvalues of unitary operators are phase factors while an hermitian matrix has real numbers as eigenvalues so they modify the norm of vectors). So unitary matrices are good "maps" whiule hermitian ones are not. If you think about it a little bit you will be able to demonstrate the following: for every Hilbert space except C^2 a unitary matrix cannot be hermitian and vice versa. For the particular case H=C^2 this is not true (e.g. Pauli matrices are hermitian and unitary).


Is it true that momentum is not equal to the mass of an object divided by its velocity?

That is correct. Momentum is defined as the product of an object's mass and its velocity, not the mass divided by the velocity. The equation for momentum is p = mv, where p is momentum, m is mass, and v is velocity.


Can an IN operator can be used instead or the OR operator in phrasing certain conditions?

True


Is it true that the law of conservation of energy stated that momentum is conserved in a collision?

Is it true that the law of conservation of engery states that momentum is in a collision


When an object speeds up it gains momentum true or false?

True. When an object speeds up, its velocity increases, and therefore its momentum also increases. Momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity, so an increase in velocity results in an increase in momentum.


If you generate more angular momentum you have the potential to spin faster true or false?

True. Angular momentum is a measure of how fast something is rotating. By increasing the angular momentum, you can increase the rate at which an object spins.


The statement 'Impulse is not the same as momentum' is?

True.


You use the operator to reverse the meaning of a Boolean expression?

The NOT operator. E.g., NOT TRUE evaluates to FALSE while NOT FALSE evaluates to TRUE.


What is Boolean operator in c language?

A Boolean operator is any operator that returns true or false. False is typically denoted by the integer value 0 while all non-zero values equate to true. The less-than operator (<) is an example of a Boolean operator.


How All objects have momentum true or false?

False. Not all objects have momentum. Momentum is a property of moving objects and is defined as the product of an object's mass and velocity. Objects at rest do not have momentum.


What is the difference between the or logical operator and the Xor operator?

The or operator will evaluate to true if either side of the operation is true.The xor operator will evaluate to true only if exactly one side of the operation is true.This means that these two operators will evaluate equally for all cases except when both sides of the operations are true.true or true -> truetrue xor true -> false
