    @@yoprofmatt Too many comments often compliment the instructors. My problem is why do we teach Newtonian physics when Einstein gave us general relativity. I agree in that inertial is a non accelerating frame of reference, but wouldn't Einstein disagree with Newton with resect to gravity and being in an inertial frame of reference? BTW, thanks for your very good presentation.

    @@davidmudry5622I’m late to this but let me answer. Newtonian physics is perfectly applicable until huge quantities in space. For the average student it’s all they’ll need because most students who take physics in high school don’t actually become physicists. Secondly, newtons laws build good mathematical instincts.

    @@allensnea9335 Newton satisfies the math, but it does not satisfy the physical reality. NIST WTC FAQ 31 answer from NIST "Since the stories below the level of collapse initiation provided little resistance the building section above came down accelerating essentially in free fall." Einstein, "free fall is the equivalent to floating, doing absolutely nothing, and being weightless in deep space." Two spaceships are heading towards each other. The radar on each ship indicates the other ship is accelerating towards it. However only one of the ships is actually accelerating. The accelerating ship is the entire Saturn V Rocket, with lots of inertia. The non accelerating ship is just the tiny Apollo space capsule, with very little inertia. The crew in the one accelerating will all be sitting in chairs with coffee in cups sitting on a table, just like here on earth. In the other ship the crew will be floating around weightless, just like falling in free fall. There will be a huge collision when the huge rocket hits the tiny capsule. But wait a minute, if the huge rocket only started to accelerate from a distance of 12 feet away, like the distance separating the north tower's 95 lower floors from the falling upper 12 floors, then only a relatively slight bump would occur.

    A falling man is an inertial frame of reference, as is the space station, or the planet Earth itself. If you are floating thru space, you would be too. However if you are planted in anyway to the planet, it is accelerating towards you at 9.8m/s and thus you are accelerating too (in the opposite direction.) Your position doesn’t change, but that is due to the bending of space around you due to the mass of the planet.

    mz, Two thoughts: 1) The atmosphere also rotates with the earth. 2) All objects that move on the earth are subject to the "Coriolis Force" which is a fictional force but makes it seem like you're getting push to the left or right (depending on which hemisphere you're in). In reality, you are trying to travel in a straight line (Newton's first law), and the earth is changing its directory underneath you! Thanks for the comment, and keep up with the physics!

    May I suggest that you also define "frame" which admittedly and unfortunately no one does but is important. My definition of a frame is "no relative motion in space and time". Thus in my frame (say a room) there should be no relative motion between me and my spatial environment plus the time in all the clocks in my environment be in synch. A NOT my fame frame even if inertial, will be moving relative to me in space AND time since its clocks will show increasingly lagging time relative to mine and the time will also be directionally desynchronized with trailing clock being advanced proportional to distance and speed of relative motion. Both frames may be inertial yet one is my frame and the other not. The differentiation can be made by relative motion in space and time.

(2) meaning if i do a physics experiment in ANY inertial frame i will get the SAME RESULTS no matter what inertial frame i am in (3) Disregarding earth spinning and angular momentum (acceleration) I am told earth is an inertial frame. (4) I am told being in outer space at a constant velocity is an inertial frame. OK THESE STATEMENTS CONTRADICT ONE ANOTHER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Because if that were ALL true then that would mean that i could do physics experiments in outer space (at a constant velocity) and then do the SAME PHYSICS EXPERIMENT on earth and get the SAME RESULTS. But that IS NOT TRUE. THAT IS A LIE. If i am in outer space(at constant velocity) and i hold a ball out and let go of the ball with out throwing it or pushing it in any direction the ball will just float there. But on earth if i do the SAME experiment the ball will fall to the ground. So there are (1) more than one TYPE of inertial frames of reference OR (2) earth is NOT an inertial frame of reference. SO WHICH IS IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why wont any one answer me???????

Because the ball would maintain the speed of that instant when it was thrown up and u along with the car would achieve some higher speed in that small time interval due to the acceleration of the car, so the ball can hit on ur head and bounce off through that open window. I hope you don't wanna loose your ball.

    QUESTION...…...If I am in a space ship in outer space with no planets or any mass near the ship and I am moving at a CONSTANT speed then I am in an inertial frame of reference. I can prove it cause when I put 100 N of mass on a scale it weighs ZERO. Also if I hold a ball in the air and drop it the ball does NOTHING. The ball floats and stays where it is relative to me and the ship. If I am in a space ship accelerating at 1g (9.8m/sec2) then I can prove I am in an accelerated frame of reference. Because if I use a scale and weigh something a 100 N it will weigh a 100 N due to the fictitious force produced by acceleration. Also if I drop a ball in the air, on the accelerating spaceship, then the ball will fall in the opposite direction of the acceleration due to a fictitious force. So why would I not say that earth is an accelerating frame of reference??????????????????? On earth a 100 N of mass weighs a 100 N due to a fictitious force created by warped spacetime. Sounds like an accelerated frame of reference to me. Fictitious forces are associated with accelerated frames of reference and gravity is a fictitious force. Also when I hold a ball out in the air the ball falls in the opposite direction of the acceleration. It does not float there and not move like in outer space at a constant velocity. SOUNDS TO ME LIKE EARTH IS A NON INERTIAL FRAME OF REFERENCE?????????????????????????????????????????? You know if you and your students and your classroom where on a spaceship accelerating at 1g (9.8m/sec2) and all the windows were blacked out. And a student said we are accelerating. Would you answer back and say sarcastically...……….."Do we look like we are accelerating?". Would you be the crazy one or the student in that scenario. Because the spaceship going 1g sounds just like earth to me. ALL THE PHYSICS LAWS seem to be the same weather you are on earth or in a spaceship going at 1g. My final question is...….If the 1g accelerating spaceship is definitely in an accelerated frame of reference then how can ALL the physics laws be the same with earth if earth is in an inertial frame of reference????????????????

    JBSC, Great comment, thanks. Very valuable insight here. It's true that technically gravity has been replaced by warped space-time in general relativity. With Newton's Laws we approximate inertial frames because they are VERY close to giving us the correct answers, thus is valuable for predictions here on Earth. Nice work!

    +Manuel Rojas Velocity is a vector, not only a number. The magnitude of our velocity is constant, but the direction of our velocity is always changing, because we are moving in a circle. Thus, we have an acceleration toward the center of the Earth at all times.

    +Alex Glisson Alex is correct. The earth spinning means we have a constant "speed" (the magnitude of velocity) but the direction is always changing. Since acceleration is a change in velocity over time, and your velocity right now is changing (specifically, you are moving in a circle, thus the direction of your velocity is changing), you are accelerating. For circular motion, this is what we call centripetal acceleration. Cheers, Dr. A

  • @rukulsingh7589

    Acceleration= change in velocity upon time taken. since there is no change in speed the time required for revolution remains same. Hence same no. of days in a year 365.25 but we consider 365 days and add an extra day every leap year because 0.25 days ×4 = 1 day. But since direction of earth is changing continuously so velocity changes continuously Hence earth is accelerating.(Velocity = Displacement/Time). Hope this helps.

    Technically, the spin of the earth is slowing down due to the gravitational force of the moon. A day used to be 16h a few million years ago. The mass of the sun is getting lower too, so the earth is getting further away as gravitation decreases. If earths tangential speed stays the same, a year will become longer, but days will become longer too so it will take "a while" before a year is more than 365 days. But both of the accelerations referred to in this video are radial. Since both the earth and a point on the surface of the earth are moving in a circular motion, they have radial acceleration towards their centers of rotation, the sun and the absolute center of earth's core respectively. And since a point on earth can be towards or opposite the sun with opposite velocities relative to earths orbit around the sun, the radial acceleration will fluctuate. But physics is about simplifying problems into practical models so we ignore these relatively insignificant accelerations. If this bothers you, you can always become a mathematician :)

    CHALLANGE TO ANYONE WHO thinks earth is an inertial frame and "free falling" is an accelerated frame of reference. THEN PROVE IT BY ANSWERING MY QUESTION !!!!!!!!!! Let us say you are in an elevator WITH NO WINDOWS on the moon so there is no air. And the rope holding the elevator breaks on the 500th floor and you and the elevator starts "free falling". And lets say i am in a space ship in outer space moving at constant velocity. WE BOTH WOULD SAY I AM IN AN INERTIAL FRAME. Now you say "free falling" is an accelerated frame of reference. So YOU ARE SAYING we would be in DIFFERENT frames of reference......you in an accelerated frame and me in an inertial frame. SO YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO PROVE IT EXPERIMENTALLY...RIGHT??????????????????????? Cause if we do identical physics experiments there should be at least ONE experiment where we get different results.....right. WE BOTH AGREE WITH THAT RIGHT?????????????? So tell me what experiment would you do to PROVE you were in an accelerated frame of reference while you are "free falling" inside your elevator???????????? If you can NOT think of an experiment that would give us different results then you must admit that "free fall" is an inertial frame because WE BOTH AGREE THAT me in a space ship in outer space moving at constant velocity is AN INTERTIAL FRAME. And guess what. If you .......while in your "free falling" elevator would hold a ball out and let go of the ball with out applying any force to the ball. Guess what the ball will just float and not move relative to you. Just like it would for me in my space ship. So that would be the same result. What experiment will you tell me about that gives different results???????????

They said when you let go of the ball it falls cause then it is in an accelerated frame.

    Thanks for the comment, but I don't agree. Time is relative, and as Einstein said, "moving clocks run slow." Which means that if you send a clock on a rocket at very high speed, it will run slow (as viewed from earth). This simple statement leads to some fascinating (and mind-bending) results, such as the twin paradox: Most people have heard of this, and know that if you separate twin brother and sister at birth, and send the girl on a very fast space ship for a while, when she returns she will be younger than the boy. (Since "moving clocks run slow".) So what's the paradox? The paradox is that if time is relative, then the girl on the spaceship looks back at earth and says that the boy's clock is running slow, therefore he must be younger when she returns. Hmmm...chew on that for a bit. Cheers, Dr. A

The class was comprised of about 100 or so physics and engineering majors. But nobody had an answer. The prof. waited... crickets. (This was before the advent of laptops in the classroom, but even so, I am not sure that would have helped, since, for example, the current Wikipedia definition is wrong.) Still, none of the physics and engineering students had an answer, presumably, because they understood that stating that it is a reference frame with constant velocity begs the question constant with respect to what? Finally, the prof. gave his answer. An inertial reference frame, according to the prof., is a reference frame in which Newton's Laws are valid.

Your explanation of "inertiality" with the help of "scale" and "weight" is completely misleading/wrong. If at all, "inertiality" could be substituted by "weightlesness". Like on the ISS ...
