Back Impulses, the Integral Vector of Umov, and Other Quantities of Mechanical Motion
Igor Pavlovich Popov
Abstract
Macromechanical quantities are obtained using quantum mechanical differential equations. The magnitudes of mechanical motion of different orders are generated by formal analogues of the Schrödinger equation. These quantities include both known (mass, momentum, kinetic energy) and unknown (Umov’s integral vector for kinetic energy, reverse impulse, etc.) properties. The proper Schrödinger equation formally generates the zeroth-order mechanical motion $$m{{{v}}^{0}}$$ (in the sense that it is in the Schrödinger equation). The magnitude of the first-order mechanical motion $$m{{{v}}^{1}}$$ is generated by a formal analogue of the Schrödinger equation, which is a combination of the proper wave function and its gradient.
