  2. Fictitious force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictitious_force

    The fictitious force called a pseudo force might also be referred to as a body force. It is due to an object's inertia when the reference frame does not move inertially any more but begins to accelerate relative to the free object. In terms of the example of the passenger vehicle, a pseudo force seems to be active just before the body touches ...

  3. 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.

  4. Coriolis force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriolis_force

    The centrifugal force acts outwards in the radial direction and is proportional to the distance of the body from the axis of the rotating frame. These additional forces are termed inertial forces, fictitious forces, or pseudo forces. By introducing these fictitious forces to a rotating frame of reference, Newton's laws of motion can be applied ...

  5. Non-inertial reference frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-inertial_reference_frame

    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 = ma holds in any coordinate system provided the term 'force' is redefined to include the so-called 'reversed effective forces' or 'inertia forces'." [7]

  6. D'Alembert's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D'Alembert's_principle

    In such a non-inertial reference frame, a mass that is at rest and has zero acceleration in an inertial reference system, because no forces are acting on it, will still have an acceleration and an apparent inertial, or pseudo or fictitious force will seem to act on it: in this situation the inertial force has a minus sign.

  8. Rotating reference frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_reference_frame

    In classical mechanics, the Euler acceleration (named for Leonhard Euler), also known as azimuthal acceleration [8] or transverse acceleration [9] is an acceleration that appears when a non-uniformly rotating reference frame is used for analysis of motion and there is variation in the angular velocity of the reference frame's axis. This article ...

  9. Bessel beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bessel_beam

    These beams can be considered as hybrids that combine the symmetric profile of a standard Bessel beam with the self-acceleration property of the Airy beam and its counterparts. Previous efforts to produce accelerating Bessel beams included beams with helical [ 29 ] and sinusoidal [ 30 ] trajectories as well as the early effort for beams with ...
