This lecture covers the concept of uniform rectilinear motion in the frame r', with examples of movement on a carousel. It discusses the relative motion of a material point on the carousel, training acceleration, and choosing the right frame of reference. The lecture also explores velocity and acceleration in cylindrical coordinates, including rotational speed and inertial forces. It delves into the coriolis force in accelerated frames, the second law of Newton, and the application of fictitious forces of inertia. The examples provided include the equilibrium of a drop on a surface and the strength of different reference frames.
