can i say normal force acting on the object perpendicular to the surface is the frictional force?? because if the normal force is great enough, the object will not slide down...so, can i say frictional force is normal force? help me...thank you

Okay, I am currently reading about motion on inclined planes and how the normal force acts directly perpendicular to the surface of the plane and how the gravitational force, obviously, acts downwards. Since the two forces are not inflicted in opposing directions, we split the gravitational...

This isn't really a numerical question, just a conceptual questoin. I wanted to know why if you have an object rolling down an inclined plane, you can just choose to put the pivot point anywhere. This is because I see problems where one thing is solved using F*R=I\alpha And I also see when...
