Sounds good. I suspect the effect of other planets would be negligible.menager31 said:+gravity form the Sun
+gravity from the Earth
Centrifugal force is a "fictitious" force that appears when viewing things from a non-inertial rotating frame; it's not relevant in an inertial frame.+centrifugal force from the rotationary movement of the Moon round the Earth
What prevents the moon from falling into the Earth is its speed, not a force. If you were to remove gravity, the moon would just keep going in a straight line.alvaros said:How do you call the force that prevents the moon falling into/to the Earth ?
An inertial frame of reference is a reference frame in which an object remains at rest or moves with a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. This means that there are no acceleration or deceleration forces acting on the object.
In an inertial frame of reference, the laws of physics, such as Newton's laws of motion, hold true. In a non-inertial frame of reference, these laws do not hold true due to the presence of acceleration or deceleration forces.
Some examples of inertial frames of reference include a stationary room, a train moving at a constant speed on a straight track, and a spaceship traveling at a constant velocity in outer space.
In physics, understanding and identifying the inertial frame of reference is crucial for accurately describing the motion and interactions of objects. It allows for the application of fundamental laws and principles, such as conservation of energy and momentum, to physical systems.
No, an object cannot be in an inertial frame of reference if it is accelerating. In an inertial frame of reference, an object must have a constant velocity and not be experiencing any acceleration or deceleration forces.
