  2. Fictitious force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictitious_force

    As a frame may accelerate in any arbitrary way, so may pseudo forces also be as arbitrary (but only in direct response to the acceleration of the frame). 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 ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Rotating reference frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_reference_frame

    For completeness, the inertial acceleration due to impressed external forces can be determined from the total physical force in the inertial (non-rotating) frame (for example, force from physical interactions such as electromagnetic forces) using Newton's second law in the inertial frame: = Newton's law in the rotating frame then becomes

  5. 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.

  6. Inertial frame of reference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_frame_of_reference

    Bodies in non-inertial reference frames are subject to so-called fictitious forces (pseudo-forces); that is, forces that result from the acceleration of the reference frame itself and not from any physical force acting on the body. Examples of fictitious forces are the centrifugal force and the Coriolis force in rotating reference frames. To ...

  7. 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 ...

  8. No. 5 Alabama beats No. 10 Texas A&M for 8th straight win - AOL

    Connecticut led 36-31 after 20 minutes, but opened the second half on a 17-2 run to force Georgetown coach Ed Cooley to burn through two timeouts before the Hoyas made their first field goal after ...

  9. Mechanics of planar particle motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translational_kinematics

    The connection between inertial frames and fictitious forces (also called inertial forces or pseudo-forces), is expressed by Arnol'd: [8] The equations of motion in a non-inertial system differ from the equations in an inertial system by additional terms called inertial forces. This allows us to detect experimentally the non-inertial nature of ...
