Galilean Transformation

Galilean Transformation Galilean Transformation: The relation of one Inertial Frame to another Inertial Frame If the position of a point relative to one inertial frame is given, the equation for finding the position of the same point as is determined in another inertial frame is called the Galilean transformation. The transformation equations of physical quantities from one inertial frame to another inertial frame are called the equations of the Galilean transformation. (a) Transformation of position: Let the position vector of a point \( P \) be in inertial frame \( S \) be \( \vec{r} \). Then \( \vec{r}' = \vec{r} - \vec{v}t \)     (or)     \( x' = x - vt,\quad y' = y,\quad z' = z \) (17) where \( x,\; y,\; z \) are the coordinates of the point \( P \) and \( x',\; y',\; z' \) are the coordinates of the same point in frame \( S' \). Physical Laws and Frames of Reference     15 (b) When both inertial frames \( ...

Physical Laws

Newton's Laws of Motion Newton's Laws of Motion Newton's laws of motion are three fundamental laws given by Sir Isaac Newton . They describe the relationship between the motion of an object and the forces acting on it. 1. Newton's First Law — Law of Inertia An object remains at rest or continues to move with uniform velocity in a straight line unless acted upon by an external unbalanced force. F net = 0   ⇒   v = constant Example When a moving bus suddenly stops, passengers tend to move forward due to inertia. Types of Inertia Inertia of rest Inertia of motion Inertia of direction 2. Newton's Second Law — Law of Acceleration ...

Frames of Reference: Inertial & Non-Inertial Frames

Frame of Reference A frame of reference is a coordinate system (origin + three mutually perpendicular axes) together with a clock used to specify the position and time of events. 1. Inertial Frames Definition An inertial frame is a frame in which a free particle (net external force = 0) moves with constant velocity (Newton’s first law holds). Equivalently, it is a frame that is either at rest or moving with uniform velocity relative to a fixed star (or any other inertial frame). Properties Newton’s laws of motion are valid in their standard form: \(\mathbf{F} = m\mathbf{a}\) Acceleration of a free particle is zero. If \(S\) is inertial and \(S'\) moves with constant velocity relative to \(S\), then \(S'\) is also inertial. All inertial frames are equivalent for the formulation of the laws of classical mechanics (Galilean principle of relativity). Examples A frame fixed to the distant stars (approximately). A laboratory fram...
