Usage Examples English
  • Taking two derivatives yields the acceleration vector in the inertial reference frame.
  • This can occur only in a non-inertial reference frame, which either has a gravitational field or is accelerating due to a force other than gravity defining a "downward" direction.
  • 04 degree with respect to the inertial reference frame and 0.8 degree with respect to the Mars orbital frame.
  • Since all particles in equilibrium have constant velocity, it is always possible to find an inertial reference frame in which the particle is stationary with respect to the frame.
  • Chirality is a fundamental property of particles and "is" relativistically invariant: It is the same regardless of the particle's speed and mass in every inertial reference frame.

  • A non-inertial reference frame is a frame of reference that undergoes acceleration with respect to an inertial frame.
  • Each of the four components (one of energy and three of momentum) of this vector is separately conserved across time, in any closed system, as seen from any given inertial reference frame.
  • The rotation thus measured is an absolute rotation, that is, the platform's rotation with respect to an inertial reference frame.
  • An example is the transition from an inertial reference frame (in which free particles coast along straight paths at constant speeds) to a rotating reference frame (in which extra terms corresponding to fictitious forces have to be introduced in order to explain particle motion): this is analogous to the transition from a Cartesian coordinate system (in which the coordinate lines are straight lines) to a curved coordinate system (where coordinate lines need not be straight).
  • It consists of the familiar translational symmetry, rotational symmetry and the inertial reference frame invariance central to the theory of special relativity.

  • Thus, using standard four-vector transformation rules, if the electric and magnetic potentials are known in one inertial reference frame, they can be simply calculated in any other inertial reference frame.
  • two events that appear simultaneous to an observer in a particular inertial reference frame need not be judged as simultaneous by a second observer in a different inertial frame of reference.
  • This latter frame is considered to be an inertial reference frame, although it too is non-inertial in more subtle ways.
  • ... in an inertial reference frame) the force of gravity is exactly the same as usual.
  • Later in the same year Albert Einstein published what is now called special relativity, by deriving the Lorentz transformation under the assumptions of the principle of relativity and the constancy of the speed of light in any inertial reference frame, and by abandoning the mechanistic aether as unnecessary.

  • Thus, an inertial reference frame is entrained by the rotating central mass to participate in the latter's rotation; this is called frame-dragging, and has been tested experimentally.
