SUMMARY
Newton's laws can be applied in a rotating cabin by incorporating the effects of acceleration and angular velocity. When analyzing motion within a rotating reference frame, it is essential to account for fictitious forces, such as the Coriolis force and centrifugal force, which arise due to the cabin's rotation. The discussion emphasizes that acceleration and velocity are vectors, indicating the need for vector analysis in this context. Understanding these principles allows for accurate application of Newton's laws in non-inertial frames.
