General Friction Info& Inclined Planes

AI Thread Summary
Friction is a force that arises from the contact between two materials, influenced by their electromagnetic interactions. To calculate friction, relevant equations include the frictional force formula, which is the product of the coefficient of friction and the normal force. For inclined planes, understanding the angle of inclination is crucial for analyzing forces acting on an object. Various graphic software, such as MS Paint and Adobe Photoshop, can be used to create illustrations of inclined planes. Resources are available online for further exploration of friction and inclined plane concepts.

I'm wondering about general info on friction and how to find it. Also equations that are related to it also. And I want to know how to draw inclined planes at an angle.
Thanks!

Frictional force depends upon contact between two materials. It arises due to electromagnetic interaction between the atoms of two materials. See http://www.actionurl.com/ia9fh
PS: there are plenty of graphic softwares for creating images like inclined planes. Try MS paint, adobe photoshop etc.

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
