Book suggestions on Galilean Transformations

In summary, the individual is looking for books or sections that provide concrete examples and exercises on Galilean Transformations, but has only found theory-based material. They welcome any suggestions and mention their PhD thesis on Newton-Cartan gravity, which unfortunately does not include additional exercises.

Hi,
I'm looking for books with a really good explanation on Galilean Transformations. I find the books and/or sections where only the theory of how to convert from one to another inertial system is mentioned, but nothing with concrete examples and additional exercises.

Any suggestions are welcomed!

1. What are Galilean Transformations?

Galilean Transformations are a set of equations used in classical mechanics to describe the relationship between measurements of time, position, and velocity in different inertial reference frames.

2. Why are Galilean Transformations important?

Galilean Transformations are important because they allow us to understand how physical laws and measurements are affected by relative motion between reference frames. They are essential in understanding the principles of classical mechanics.

3. Can you recommend any books on Galilean Transformations?

Some popular books on Galilean Transformations include "Introduction to Classical Mechanics" by David Morin, "Classical Mechanics" by Herbert Goldstein, and "An Introduction to Mechanics" by Daniel Kleppner and Robert Kolenkow.

4. Are there any online resources for learning about Galilean Transformations?

Yes, there are many online resources available for learning about Galilean Transformations. Some recommended sources include Khan Academy, MIT OpenCourseWare, and HyperPhysics.

5. Are there any real-world applications of Galilean Transformations?

Yes, Galilean Transformations have many real-world applications, particularly in the fields of physics and engineering. They are used in the design of vehicles, such as airplanes and spacecraft, and in the analysis of motion in various systems.
