I was looking through some of my pictures of my last trip during the summer and i noticed that friction is everywhere. At first glance I did not notice anything to do with friction in this picture, but after i thought about it, i realized that there was a lot of good physics occuring. Friction is so useful for everyone. I noticed that if it weren't for friction then all the items on the table would be sliding off the table and I wouldn't be able to hold my chopsticks. Also there is a smart force being applied by the table to everything on it and it is equal to the force of everything in the downward direction on the table. Also, whenever I eat using chopsticks I am doing work because I am applying force in a certain direction.
wow that's a lot of friction in one picture.
