Takeaways

• 😀 The entrance exam in physics consists of tasks covering five main sections: mechanics, molecular physics and thermodynamics, electrons, special theory of relativity, and quantum physics.
• 😀 The exam is structured as individual tickets, each containing 10 tasks, with a maximum score of 100 points.
• 😀 The exam is timed, with 45 minutes allotted to complete the entire test.
• 😀 The first eight tasks are multiple-choice questions with answer options, and the last two require numerical solutions.
• 😀 Example of a typical multiple-choice task: Defining an ideal gas, with the correct answer being 'Gas molecules do not interact at a distance but experience only elastic collisions.'
• 😀 Another example is a problem requiring the calculation of the de Broglie wavelength of an object, with the correct answer being '2 × 10^-42 m.'
• 😀 For numerical answer tasks, it’s important to apply relevant physics concepts, such as de Broglie waves, to calculate quantities like wavelength.
• 😀 An example of solving a motion-related problem: Calculating the speed of a material point when its acceleration is zero by differentiating its position function.
• 😀 The solution to the speed problem can result in a negative value, which simply indicates the opposite direction of motion relative to the reference point.
• 😀 The speaker encourages applicants not to fear negative signs in their answers, as they merely reflect directionality in physics problems.
• 😀 The video concludes with best wishes for success in the entrance exam and an invitation to meet at the Russian University of Transport.

Q & A

What are the main sections covered in the entrance exam for physics?

The entrance exam for physics covers five main sections: Mechanics, Molecular Physics and Thermodynamics, Electrons, the Basics of the Special Theory of Relativity, and Quantum Physics.

How is the physics entrance exam structured?

The exam consists of individual tickets, each containing 10 tasks. A maximum of 100 points can be scored for the entire ticket, and 45 minutes are allotted for completion.

What types of tasks are included in the exam ticket?

The first eight tasks are multiple-choice questions with answer options, and the remaining two tasks require numerical solutions with answers provided as numbers.

How is the task related to the definition of an ideal gas structured?

A typical task might ask to define an ideal gas by selecting the correct option from a list. The correct definition involves the assumption that the gas molecules do not interact with each other, only experiencing elastic collisions.

What is the correct answer to the ideal gas definition question?

The correct answer is option number four, which states that an ideal gas is a theoretical model where the gas molecules have negligible size and do not interact with each other.

How do you solve a typical task related to the wavelength of de Broglie waves?

To solve such a task, you need to use the formula for de Broglie wavelength, considering the mass and speed of the object. After converting units (e.g., mass in kilograms and speed in meters per second), you calculate the wavelength.

What is the correct answer to the task about the de Broglie wavelength of a moving train?

The correct answer is option one: 2 × 10^-42 m, which reflects the very small wavelength associated with macroscopic objects like the train.

How do you determine the speed of a material point when its acceleration becomes zero?

You need to differentiate the equation for the coordinate of the material point to find the speed, and then differentiate the speed to find the acceleration. Setting acceleration to zero allows you to solve for the speed.

What does the minus sign in the calculated speed represent?

The minus sign in the calculated speed indicates the opposite direction of movement relative to the reference point, not a negative value of speed.

What key concept from quantum physics is important for solving the de Broglie wavelength task?

The key concept is de Broglie waves, which describe the wave-like properties of particles. The wavelength depends on the mass and speed of the object, with heavier and faster objects having shorter wavelengths.
