- What is an inertial frame? - Physics Stack Exchange
Wikipedia defines an inertial frame as: In classical physics and special relativity, an inertial frame of reference (also inertial reference frame or inertial frame, Galilean reference frame or inertial space) is a frame of reference that describes time and space homogeneously, isotropically, and in a time-independent manner [1]
- What is an inertial frame in terms of acceleration?
After learning about the difference between coordinate and proper acceleration, I am now confused on the precise definition of an inertial reference frame in terms of proper and coordinate accelera
- newtonian mechanics - What exactly is an inertial frame and when can . . .
an inertial frame of reference (also called an inertial space or a Galilean reference frame) is a frame of reference in which objects exhibit inertia: they remain at rest or in uniform motion relative to the frame until acted upon by external forces
- Whats the difference between the five masses: inertial mass . . .
A body's inertial mass is the mass measured by its resistance to changes in motion Its gravitational mass is the mass measured by its attraction by gravitational force Its rest mass is the mass when it's at rest with respect to an observer, and is then equivalent to its inertial mass
- Reynolds number and inertial force - Physics Stack Exchange
Inertial force, as the name implies is the force due to the momentum of the fluid This is usually expressed in the momentum equation by the term $ (\rho v)v$ So, the denser a fluid is, and the higher its velocity, the more momentum (inertia) it has As in classical mechanics, a force that can counteract or counterbalance this inertial force is the force of friction (shear stress) In the
- newtonian mechanics - What are Inertial and non-inertial forces . . .
What are inertial and non-inertial forces? I looked them up One of the websites says that an inertial force is a force that can be observed measured in an inertial frame In this case, do we have a
- What really is inertial force? - Physics Stack Exchange
As a label, a force is sometimes called inertial if it is proportional to the mass of the object the force is applied to Fictitious forces due to accelerating frames are an example because they are really just the opposite of the acceleration of the frame itself Gravitational forces are "another" example So if you are in a frame moving with a fluid, you expect there to be inertial forces if
- How to affirm whether a frame of reference is Inertial or non-inertial?
Given a non-inertial frame of reference what is (are) the condition (s) required to affirm whether another frame of reference (being observed from the current non-inertial frame) is inertial or non-inertial? I think a brief background to the question is required
