The Lagrangian does depend on the choice of generalized coordinates, as demonstrated with a particle mass m in one dimension under a potential V=V(x). When shifting coordinates from x to y=x+c, the potential changes to V(y-c), indicating that V(x) and V(y-c) are generally different. Despite this difference in the Lagrangian, the resulting equations of motion remain equivalent. Selecting appropriate coordinates can simplify the process of solving these equations. Thus, while the Lagrangian varies with coordinate choice, the physical outcomes remain consistent.
