The discussion revolves around characteristics of particles in inertial frames within the context of Newtonian mechanics, specifically addressing the differences between speed, velocity, momentum, and impulse.
The discussion is active, with participants providing insights into the nature of inertial frames and raising questions about the implications of these characteristics. Some guidance has been offered regarding the definitions, but no consensus has been reached on the specific characteristics that remain constant.
Participants are navigating the definitions of terms within Newtonian mechanics and their implications in different inertial frames, with some uncertainty about the relationship between speed, velocity, momentum, and impulse.
Why must this be the case?chaoseverlasting said:Since the frame is non accelerated (inertial), speed of the particle should be constant in all frames.
