Why are pseudo forces also sometimes called INERTIAL FORCES , even though their need arises because of non inertial frames??
They are called "inertial", because they are a consequence of the tendency to move inertially. In non-inertial frames this inertial movement implies coordinate accelerations. Only for massive objects we can then assign a pseudo-force proportional to mass to them.NEILS BOHR said:Why are pseudo forces also sometimes called INERTIAL FORCES , even though their need arises because of non inertial frames??
Pseudo/inertial forces are fictitious forces that appear to act on objects in non-inertial reference frames. They are not actual physical forces but rather are a result of the frame of reference in which observations are made. Examples include centrifugal force and Coriolis force.
Pseudo/inertial forces are different from real forces in that they do not result from interactions between objects, but rather from the frame of reference in which observations are made. Real forces, on the other hand, are caused by physical interactions between objects.
Understanding pseudo/inertial forces is crucial in accurately describing and predicting the motion of objects in non-inertial reference frames. It allows scientists to properly account for the effects of these fictitious forces and make accurate calculations and predictions.
Pseudo/inertial forces are explained in physics through the use of mathematical equations and the laws of motion. These equations take into account the acceleration and motion of an object in a non-inertial frame of reference and can accurately predict the effects of pseudo/inertial forces.
No, pseudo/inertial forces cannot be eliminated as they are a result of the frame of reference in which observations are made. However, they can be accounted for and taken into consideration in calculations and predictions. In some cases, they may be minimized by changing the reference frame to an inertial one.
