Damped Plots Spring

AI Thread Summary

Different software can yield varied results for 3D damped spring plots due to differences in their algorithms and underlying physics models. The user compared outputs from Maxima's gnuplot engine and WolframAlpha, noting discrepancies in the results. The accuracy of each software depends on the specific parameters and settings used during the simulation. Users are encouraged to verify the input conditions and review the documentation for each software to understand potential sources of error. Ultimately, the choice of software may impact the reliability of the results for damped spring simulations.

Hi
I tried 3Dplot Damped spring(steel spring,oil damper) in two sotwares ,and get odds results .
Which one is right?

In "Maxima gnuplot engine"

In "WolphramAlpha engine"

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...
