AI Thread Summary
Velocity does not directly affect the deceleration of an object moving up a rough plane when considering a constant coefficient of kinetic friction. The distinction between velocity and acceleration is crucial, as they represent different physical concepts. However, in scenarios involving air resistance, the drag force becomes dependent on velocity, influencing overall deceleration. Thus, while velocity is important in some contexts, it does not alter the deceleration calculation in a uniform friction scenario. Understanding these dynamics is essential for accurate physics analysis.

If an object is is projected up a rough plane with a velocity. Why don't we take the velocity into account when we are finding out the deceleration?

Velocity and acceleration (deceleration) are totally different things.

my question is does the velocity affect the magnitude of the force

Not for a constant coefficient of kinetic friction.

If you have something moving through air, then the DRAG force is velocity dependent.

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...
