  2. Fictitious force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictitious_force

    An example of a pseudo force as defined by Iro is the Coriolis force, maybe better to be called: the Coriolis effect. [4] [5] [6] The gravitational force would also be a fictitious force (pseudo force) in a field model in which particles distort spacetime due to their mass, such as in the theory of general relativity.

  3. Coriolis force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriolis_force

    Coriolis referred to this force as the "compound centrifugal force" due to its analogies with the centrifugal force already considered in category one. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] The effect was known in the early 20th century as the " acceleration of Coriolis", [ 11 ] and by 1920 as "Coriolis force".

  4. Non-inertial reference frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-inertial_reference_frame

    Common examples of this include the Coriolis force and the centrifugal force. In general, the expression for any fictitious force can be derived from the acceleration of the non-inertial frame. [ 6 ] As stated by Goodman and Warner, "One might say that F = m a holds in any coordinate system provided the term 'force' is redefined to include the ...

  5. Centrifugal force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_force

    Centrifugal force is a fictitious force in Newtonian mechanics (also called an "inertial" or "pseudo" force) that appears to act on all objects when viewed in a rotating frame of reference. It appears to be directed radially away from the axis of rotation of the frame.

  6. Rotating reference frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_reference_frame

    This equation has exactly the form of Newton's second law, except that in addition to F, the sum of all forces identified in the inertial frame, there is an extra term on the right...This means we can continue to use Newton's second law in the noninertial frame provided we agree that in the noninertial frame we must add an extra force-like term ...

  7. Acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceleration

    The SI unit for acceleration is metre per second squared (m⋅s −2, ). For example, when a vehicle starts from a standstill (zero velocity, in an inertial frame of reference) and travels in a straight line at increasing speeds, it is accelerating in the direction of travel. If the vehicle turns, an acceleration occurs toward the new direction ...

    In Langevin dynamics, the equation of motion using the same notation as above is as follows: [1] [2] [3] ¨ = ˙ + where: . is the mass of the particle. ¨ is the acceleration is the friction constant or tensor, in units of /.

  9. Mathematical formulation of the Standard Model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_formulation...

    For example, renormalization in QED modifies the mass of the free field electron to match that of a physical electron (with an electromagnetic field), and will in doing so add a term to the free field Lagrangian which must be cancelled by a counterterm in the interaction Lagrangian, that then shows up as a two-line vertex in the Feynman diagrams.
