Uniform Circular Motion, Rotational Motion, Torque, and Inertia

AI Thread Summary
Uniform Circular Motion (UCM), Rotational Motion (RM), Torque, and Inertia are key concepts in physics that can be challenging for beginners. Torque is calculated using the formula Torque = rF(perpendicular)sin(theta), and it is important to note that all points on a rigid rotating body experience the same angular acceleration. For further understanding, resources like HyperPhysics can provide valuable explanations and examples. Clarifying specific areas of confusion can also enhance comprehension. Mastery of these concepts is essential for success in physics.

I'm in my first semester of Physics and i am having trouble understanding UCM, RM, Torque, and Inertia. The few things i do understand is Torque=rF(perpendicular)sin(theta) and that all points on a rigid rotating body have the same angular acceleration. please can someone help me?

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...
