Lecture

Dynamics in Accelerated Frames

Description

This lecture covers the dynamics in accelerated frames, focusing on the Coriolis force and its effects. It explains how the second law of Newton is modified in accelerated frames, introducing the effective force. The lecture also discusses the Coriolis force in various scenarios, such as the Foucault pendulum and atmospheric phenomena. The instructor presents examples of how objects are deflected due to the Coriolis force on Earth's surface, emphasizing the differences in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Additionally, the lecture explores the rotation of the Foucault pendulum at different latitudes and the impact of the Coriolis force on the direction of winds in meteorology.
