الوصف: | There exist vertical plane C 1 ‐smooth curves such that the classical Newton mechanics based on ordinary differential equations cannot uniquely determine the future motion of a particle sliding down under the effect of gravity. As a simple example, we explicitly construct a C 1 concave curve 7 such that the tangent component of the gravity as a function of the arc length parameter is F(s)= |s|1/3 sgn (s). Actually, the Cauchy problem ? = F(s), s(0) = 0, ?(0) = 0 has an infinite number of solutions (Peano phenomenon). Physically, this analysis is paradoxical, since it allows that the particle rests motionless at the top of 7 for an arbitrary time interval, and then suddenly moves away. Here we propose a possible solution of the paradox showing that these ‘unwelcome’ solutions are obtained by a limiting process from special orbits of the corresponding discrete time model (which obviously respects the wished determinism in the future) as the fundamental time period ?tgoes to zero. |
