Friction force: from mechanics to thermodynamics

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

We study some mechanical problems in which a friction force is acting on the system. Using the fundamental concepts of state, time evolution and energy conservation we explain how to extend Newtonian mechanics to thermodynamics. We arrive at the two laws of thermodynamics and then apply them to investigate time evolution and heat transfer of some significant examples.
