Transformation Relation of Two Descriptive Systems between Quantum Mechanics and Classical Statistical Mechanics and Dynamic Foundation of Classical Statistical Physics

Abstract

Based on the concept of ensemble, it is proved in the manuscript that the probability amplitude function can also been used to describe the classical statistical system. The motion equations of probability amplitude functions of classical statistical system are obtained, which are similar to that in quantum mechanics. It is also proved in the meantime that microsystems that obey quantum mechanics can also be described in the forms of classical statistical mechanics and deterministic classical mechanics. The quantum revised formula of classical interaction force and the revised Liouville's equations are also obtained. In this way, the transformation of two descriptive forms between classical mechanics and quantum mechanics is achieved. A new and rational interpretation about quantum mechanics, including the meaning of wave function, the potential barrier penetration of microparticles, the Uncertainty relation, the wave-particle duality, the essence of spin and the Bell's inequality and so on, is provided in the paper. Based on the transformation, two fundamental hypotheses are put forward as the basic postulates of classical statistical physics. The equal probability hypothesis in the equilibrium states is given up. The united description of nonequilibrium state mechanics and equilibrium state statistical mechanics is reached, and the so-called reversibility paradox can also be eliminated.

Projection Angles of Projectiles in Sports: Qualitative Assessment of the Effects of Aerodynamic Forces or Run-Up

We examine two major factors that influence the optimum projection angle: aerodynamic forces and the effect of run-up. With respect to aerodynamics, we consider not only the drag but also the lift generated by spin during flight. By linearizing the equations of motion that include these forces, we derive perturbation solutions with respect to drag and lift coefficients and clarify their qualitative effects. The results show that both drag and lift reduce the optimum projection angle, with the latter exerting a stronger influence. To investigate the effect of run-up, we use an extended projection model in which the initial speed depends on the initial angle. Analysis of this model reveals that a stronger run-up increases the relative projection angle but decreases the launch angle observed from the ground. These findings provide a mechanical explanation for the release angle in shot put and the takeoff angle in long jump. The present study establishes a simple theoretical framework for clarifying the respective roles of aerodynamic and run-up effects in determining the optimum projection angles in sports.

Dunkl-Based Modeling of Vibrational Modes in Lightweight Elastic Beams

Optimizing slender elastic structures for renewable energy applications requires non-classical continuum formulations capable of accounting for spatial micro-interactions without sacrificing analytical tractability. Here, we extend beam vibration mechanics by replacing standard spatial derivatives with the Dunkl differential operator. This modification introduces a reflection-coupled mathematical structure that accounts for spatial parity effects across the beam domain. We formulate the governing dynamic equations into a generalized eigenvalue problem and derive exact analytical expressions for modal characteristics under standard boundary conditions. The classical limit confirms exact convergence to classical Euler-Bernoulli formulations. Parametric analyses reveal that the Dunkl parameter acts as a reflection-induced modulation parameter, significantly shifting natural frequencies and altering the modal characteristics of higher modes. These results provide an analytical baseline for dynamic optimization in lightweight structural components.

A purely mechanical system realizing a Coulomb-like interaction

We solve in closed form a one-dimensional relativistic system: two masses interacting only through elastic collisions with a massless mediator bouncing between them. Momenta, times, and positions are hyperbolic functions of the collision index. The mediator energy, interpreted as the pair's effective potential, obeys an exact discrete Coulomb law, $V\propto 1/r$, with a Lorentz-invariant action as coupling. A massive Newtonian mediator instead transmits a $1/r^{3}$ force; one adiabatic invariant traces both laws to the mediator's dispersion relation. Continued to negative mediator energy, the closed forms turn trigonometric, binding a one-dimensional mechanical analog of the Coulomb atom.
