I think the simplest way to get the result is by using the triangle with sides 2, 11, and AB in the modified figure below. The length of...

And those events have a temporal ordering where the cause precedes the effect, while the forces in Newton's 3rd are simultaneous.

Opinions, like definitions, are not right or wrong. They can be useful or useless. From my experience in teaching Physics, I can say...

It is not a problem for me. It is a problem for people who translate "fictitious forces" as "illusion" without further explanation. The...

I think every teacher knows that words are really important in physics. Physics is also about interpretation, or "ontology", or...

Using inertia in place of mass is another confusing thing for beginners. Moreover, historically, the term "vis inertiae" is different...

It doesn't matter to somebody, no problem. Other people, mostly those who are involved in teaching Physics, understand the difference.

"Interaction force" is clear. "Inertial force" for something appearing only in NON-inertial reference frames sounds like an oxymoron. My...

Unfortunately, quite often in Physics, words have a different meaning than in ordinary language. This is an additional problem for...
