  2. Fictitious force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictitious_force

    A fictitious force is a force that appears to act on a mass whose motion is described using a non-inertial frame of reference, such as a linearly accelerating or rotating reference frame. [1] Fictitious forces are invoked to maintain the validity and thus use of Newton's second law of motion , in frames of reference which are not inertial.

  3. Rotating reference frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_reference_frame

    A rotating frame of reference is a special case of a non-inertial reference frame that is rotating relative to an inertial reference frame. An everyday example of a rotating reference frame is the surface of the Earth. (This article considers only frames rotating about a fixed axis. For more general rotations, see Euler angles.)

  4. International Terrestrial Reference System and Frame

    BeiDou Coordinate System, China Terrestrial Reference Frame (CTRF) 2000 = ITRF97 at epoch 2000.0; own implementation. GLONASS PZ-90.11 is nominally its own system, but is quite close to ITRF and uses many of the same techniques. [2] National systems: United States: WGS 84 (see above); domestic use is mainly based on NAD 83 instead.

  5. Axes conventions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axes_conventions

    Basically, as lab frame or reference frame, there are two kinds of conventions for the frames: East, North, Up (ENU), used in geography; North, East, Down (NED), used specially in aerospace; This frame referenced w.r.t. Global Reference frames like Earth Center Earth Fixed (ECEF) non-inertial system.

  6. Centrifugal force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_force

    This fictitious force is often applied to rotating devices, such as centrifuges, centrifugal pumps, centrifugal governors, and centrifugal clutches, and in centrifugal railways, planetary orbits and banked curves, when they are analyzed in a non–inertial reference frame such as a rotating coordinate system.

  7. Frame of reference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_of_reference

    In physics and astronomy, a frame of reference (or reference frame) is an abstract coordinate system, whose origin, orientation, and scale have been specified in physical space. It is based on a set of reference points , defined as geometric points whose position is identified both mathematically (with numerical coordinate values) and ...

  9. Euler force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_force

    In classical mechanics, the Euler force is the fictitious tangential force [1] 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 axes.
