A simple question about non-inertial Frames of Reference

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the complexities of answering question D regarding non-inertial frames of reference, specifically when considering the acceleration of frames S and S'. The participant identifies that the interpretation of condition #4 is crucial, as it determines whether S or S' is accelerating. The realization that S is the only accelerating frame allows for a definitive answer to question D, while ambiguity in the conditions leads to unanswerable scenarios for both D and C if both frames are considered to be accelerating.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of non-inertial frames of reference
  • Familiarity with classical mechanics concepts, particularly acceleration
  • Knowledge of relative velocity and its implications
  • Ability to interpret and analyze problem conditions in physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the principles of non-inertial reference frames in classical mechanics
  • Learn about the effects of acceleration on relative velocity
  • Explore problem-solving techniques for physics questions involving multiple frames of reference
  • Review the implications of initial conditions in physics problems
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for physics students, educators, and anyone interested in understanding the dynamics of non-inertial frames and their impact on problem-solving in classical mechanics.

Hello
Is it even possible to have an answer for D given condition #4 ?
i need help in just for question D, and not everything else . Thanks :]

The Attempt at a Solution


Because Either S or S' Could be accelerating, and depending on which one and how much is accelerating, there will be different answers for D. Everything else is working out for me up until condition 4 which is giving me trouble answering D.

2 seems to suggest that this is always the particle velocity in S’, since 3 mentions ”initially”.

ahh! i did not notice that. if that's the case then S would definitely be the only one accelerating. Its answerable now. I assumed both of them were initial velocities since these conditions were observed at t=0. Would have helped if condition #2 specifically said that the velocity would not change relative to S'..

If somehow it weren't the case, D cannot be answered right? (just tried out, C would also be unanswerable since yet again, either frame could be accelerating)
