what causes fictitious force in a non-rotating reference frame?

Expert Solution

The fictitious force on an object arises as an imaginary influence, when the frame of reference used to describe the object's motion is accelerating compared to a non-accelerating frame. The fictitious force "explains," using Newton's mechanics, why an object does not follow Newton's laws and "floats freely" as if weightless. As a frame can accelerate in any arbitrary way, so can fictitious forces be as arbitrary (but only in direct response to the acceleration of the frame). However, four fictitious forces are defined for frames accelerated in commonly occurring ways: one caused by any relative acceleration of the origin in a straight line (rectilinear acceleration), two involving rotation: centrifugal force and Coriolis force; and a fourth, called the Euler force, caused by a variable rate of rotation, should that occur.

Gravitational force would also be a fictitious force based upon a field model in which particles distort spacetime due to their mass, such as general relativity.

Find the coordinate transformation and the stationary metric in the rotating reference system with the angular velocity \omegaω. Stationary metrics are those, which are invariant under time--translations, but are not invariant under time--reversal transformation. (Use cylindrical coordinates in the spatial part of the flat space--time.)

Conservation of Angular Momentum Lab Worksheet Introduction A non-rotating ring is dropped onto a rotating disk. The angular speed is measured (by the Rotary Motion Sensor) immediately before the drop and immediately after the ring stops sliding on the disk. The initial angular momentum is compared to the final angular momentum, and the initial kinetic energy is compared to the final kinetic energy. Theory: When the ring is dropped onto the rotating disk, there is no net external torque on...
