This lecture covers the dynamics in non-inertial frames, including a recap on inertial frames, simple examples, velocity and acceleration transformations, dynamics in moving frames, terrestrial dynamics, and examples involving Coriolis force. The exercises focus on a ball in a rotating bowl, using spherical coordinates, forces projection, equations of motion, energy conservation, equilibrium points, stability analysis, and oscillation frequency determination.
