Homework Statement
Show that Newton's Second Law is NOT valid in a reference frame moving past the laboratory frame of problem 1 with a constant acceleration?
Problem 1: In a laboratory frame of reference, an observer notes that Newton's Second Law is valid. Show that it is also valid for an observer moving at a constant speed, small compared with the speed of light, relative to the laboratory frame.
dx^1/dt = dx/dt-v
d^2x^1/dt^2= d^2x/dt^2
force new = force old
acceleration = d^2x/dt^2 and if v is constant = dv/dt = 0
