The discussion revolves around the concept of acceleration in the context of the special theory of relativity, particularly focusing on the relationship between inertial frames of reference and constant acceleration. Participants explore whether an inertial frame can exist where a body undergoing constant acceleration in one frame appears to not accelerate in another frame.
Participants express differing views on the existence of inertial frames where acceleration conditions change. No consensus is reached regarding the implications of relativity on these scenarios.
Participants reference the transformation of acceleration between frames, indicating that assumptions about the nature of acceleration and velocity are central to the discussion. The implications of these transformations remain unresolved.
Is that something you could work out for yourself? Using the transformation of acceleration from one frame to another, perhaps.LagrangeEuler said:Thanks. And can exist inertial frame of reference ##S'## in which acceleration is not constant if in the system ##S## acceleration is constant?
Yes, exactly.LagrangeEuler said:I think that if one system acceleration is constant in the system that moves with velocity ##u## relative to this one acceleration will not be constant, because in formula for acceleration is velocity of moving object that changes from point to point.
