  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. 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. 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.

  5. 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 ...

  6. 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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brownian_dynamics

    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 /.

  8. Navier–Stokes equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navier–Stokes_equations

    The left side of the equation describes acceleration, and may be composed of time-dependent and convective components (also the effects of non-inertial coordinates if present). The right side of the equation is in effect a summation of hydrostatic effects, the divergence of deviatoric stress and body forces (such as gravity).

  9. List of equations in classical mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_equations_in...

    Classical mechanics is the branch of physics used to describe the motion of macroscopic objects. [1] It is the most familiar of the theories of physics. The concepts it covers, such as mass, acceleration, and force, are commonly used and known. [2]
