Non-inertial frame Definition and 54 Threads

I am doing some study about the lorentz transformation between non-inertial frames. I wonder if the tranformation is the same as in SR. I need to do the transformation of EM fields in a constantly rotational frame. Can anybody help me with this one. Is there anybook I can refer to? Many thanks.

Homework Statement I don't really understand how to approach problems like these A lift has a downward acceleration of kg (k<1). Inside the lift is mounted a pulley, of negligible friction and inertia, over which passes an inextensible string carrying two objects of masses m and 3m. a...

Homework Statement The steel ball is suspended from the accelerating frame by the two cords A and B. The angles (they are on the inside) are both 60 degrees. Determine the acceleration of the frame which will cause the tension in A to be twice that in B. The acceleration is going to the...

hey guys! i have a problem in physics which i could'nt solve: a car is moving with constant linear acceleration a along horizontal x-axis. A solid sphere of mass M and radius R is found rolling without slipping on the horizontal floor of the car in the same direction as seen from an inertial...
