Learn the physics behind motion with Understanding Acceleration of a Block on an Incline With Friction. This video explains how friction influences acceleration on an inclined plane and breaks down ...

I learned to respect friction, as a phenomenon with many nuances, when I was a graduate student. One day, while teaching a problem session in elementary mechanics, I unwisely invented a new problem to ...

The concepts of friction and wear are easy to understand, yet they can interrelate in complex ways within a tribological system (science concerned with interacting surfaces in relative motion ...
