Lecture

Coriolis Force and Inertia Frames

Description

This lecture covers the concept of Coriolis force and inertia frames, explaining how forces in accelerated frames of reference are not real forces but a concept to re-establish Newton's second law. It also discusses the properties of inertia frames, the equilibrium in a uniformly rotating ring, and the dynamics of Earth's rotation. The lecture further explores the apparent weight, free fall dynamics, and the effects of Coriolis force on falling masses. Practical examples and demonstrations related to the Coriolis force are presented, along with the theoretical background of equilibrium conditions and the stability of systems.
