Message ...and a Master's degree in Physics and Mathematics. And a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration - Management...and I blow your SAT scores out of the water. And I have been a high energy research physicist for 8 years, lecturing across the US, in France, and in China, before going into business here in Chicago. Now we have each other's resumes. None of this means that you are reading posts very carefully.

As with all of physics, you teach students the first-order approximation and leave off the remaining parts; staying in the regime where the higher-order terms are negligibly small. Saying that F=mu*N "needs to be augmented" refers to the missing elements. With elastic objects, the remaining terms are not small, they can be bigger than the usual term by itself. So yes, I did say you cannot apply F=mu*N *alone* to the problem. If you are not familliar with the language of science, I can't help that.

I'm glad you think you are a good student. I am trying to teach people something. Why not pay attention instead of calling people names and taking a hostile attitude? You have spent more time looking for grammar and spelling mistakes than you have trying to absorb new information. Rather than fixate on how I'm wrong no matter what I say, why not open yourself to learn something new, from a qualified expert?
