Question

Physical significance of hamiltonian function

Answer 1

Hamiltonian function. ... The Hamiltonian of a system specifies its total energy—i.e., the sum of its kinetic energy (that of motion) and its potential energy (that of position)—in terms of the Lagrangian functionderived in earlier studies of dynamics and of the position and momentum of each of the particles.

Answer 2

The Hamiltonian of a system specifies it's total energy that is the sum of its kinetic energy and it's potential energy in terms of the Lagrangian function derived in earlier studies of dynamics and of the position and momentum of each of the particles
