    In this case, the first car is stationary and the second car is approaching from behind at a speed of v 2 − v 1 = 8 m/s. To catch up to the first car, it will take a time of ⁠ d / v 2 − v 1 ⁠ = ⁠ 200 / 8 ⁠ s, that is, 25 seconds, as before. Note how much easier the problem becomes by choosing a suitable frame of reference.

  3. Fictitious force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictitious_force

    To solve classical mechanics problems exactly in an Earthbound reference frame, three fictitious forces must be introduced: the Coriolis force, the centrifugal force (described below) and the Euler force. The Euler force is typically ignored because the variations in the angular velocity of the rotating surface of the Earth are usually ...

    — Douglas C. Giancoli Physics for Scientists and Engineers with Modern Physics, p. 155 In short, centrifugal force played a key early role in establishing the set of inertial frames of reference and the significance of fictitious forces, even aiding in the development of general relativity.

    In the 1990s-2000s the problem of "the limiting processes, there merely indicated, which lead from the atomistic view to the laws of motion of continua" was approached by many groups of mathematicians. Main recent results are summarized by Laure Saint-Raymond, [6] Marshall Slemrod, [7] Alexander N. Gorban and Ilya Karlin. [8]

    Smale's problems is a list of eighteen unsolved problems in mathematics proposed by Steve Smale in 1998 [1] and republished in 1999. [2] Smale composed this list in reply to a request from Vladimir Arnold, then vice-president of the International Mathematical Union, who asked several mathematicians to propose a list of problems for the 21st century.

    A mathematical chess problem is a mathematical problem which is formulated using a chessboard and chess pieces. These problems belong to recreational mathematics . The most well-known problems of this kind are the eight queens puzzle and the knight's tour problem, which have connection to graph theory and combinatorics .
