AI Thread Summary

The term "velocity of transport" is not commonly found in English literature, and its absence raises questions about standard terminology. The term is recognized in Russian texts and has a distinct name in Polish as well. The differences in terminology across languages highlight a potential gap in English translations of Banach's work. The discussion seeks to identify if there is an established English equivalent for "velocity of transport." Clarifying this terminology could enhance understanding in the field of mechanics.

Here are two fragments from Banach's monograph in Mechanics

I have never seen the term <<velocity of transport>> in English texts. Actually I have never seen this term being named somehow in English. This term has a name in Russian books. I looked through the original Banach's text in Polish and there is a Polish name for this term. It is a little bit surprising that the Polish name differs from the Russian one and also differs from this English translation.

My question is: Is there a standard English name for this velocity?

In Russian textbooks ## v_e## denotes the velocity of transport. Nobody knows what the subscript means.

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...
