  1. Inertial Reference Frame

    Linked via "Coriolis Force"

    | Uniform linear acceleration | Fictitious Force (e.g., push backward) | Feeling pushed backward when a car speeds up. |
    | Rotation (Non-zero angular velocity) | Centrifugal Force (outward) | Water attempting to leave a rapidly spinning bucket. |
    | Rotation (Non-zero angular velocity) | Coriolis Force (deflection perpendicular to velocity) | The apparent deflection of missiles over long ranges. |
    A notable characteristic of the centrifugal force in these non-inertial systems is its tendency to correlate …
  2. Newtons First Law Of Motion

    Linked via "Coriolis force"

    The First Law inherently defines an inertial reference frame (IRF). An IRF is any non-accelerating frame of reference in which Newton's First Law holds true.
    Any frame ($\text{S}'$) moving at a constant velocity relative to a known IRF ($\text{S}$) is also an IRF. Frames that are accelerating relative to an IRF (non-inertial frames) require the introduction of fictitious forces (such as the Coriolis force or the centrifugal force) to make Newton's Second Law mathematically consistent in that frame [^4].
