Physists of the past have been brilliant at describing nature using math, but terrible at choosing the right words for it. Both naming... -
PeroK reacted to kuruman's post in the thread How fast is the fly's shadow moving? with
Informative.
As your drawing shows, the angle between the Sun's rays and the fly's velocity is 66°. The question is which trig function, sine or... -
PeroK replied to the thread I Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?.PS and, as you are at rest in your own reference frame, you have to add the same (*) fictitious force to yourself in order for Newton's...
