Question

"[This word] mixing" is a process in which trajectories in non-linear dynamical systems separate linearly, rather than exponentially. This first (0[1])word in the name of a two-n-dimensional object central to Hamiltonian mechanics is synonymous with "complex argument." In classical mechanics, graphs of momentum versus position that are spanned by the (0[1])coordinates p-comma-q depict (0[2])"[this word] (0[1])(*) space." (10[4]0[1])This word (10[1]0[1])names the value that is multiplied (0[1])by (10[1])i (10[1])in an exponential (0[2])in solutions (0[1])to physical systems. This word names (10[1])a (10[1])quantity that determines whether interference is destructive. (10[1])For 10 points, (10[2])give this word (0[1])for (10[1])an angle-like (0[1])quantity denoted (10[1])"phi" (10[1])that describes (10[1])an offset in the (0[1])frequency (10[2]0[2])of a wave.
