First, the comic xkcd: Centrifugal Force
Now, the question: how do you construct Newton's Law in a non-inertial reference frame?
I did the coordinate transformation with two frames at an angle two each other, but how do you I represent that fact that the coordinate system is constantly changing. Do I make it a function of time?
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Edited by Adminnemooseus, : Added the "(in a non-inertial reference frame)" to the topic title.
