Changes of Reference Frames: Deriving Formulas and Applications

Description

This lecture introduces the concept of changes of reference frames, focusing on the Earth not being an inertial reference frame. The instructor explains the derivation of formulas for velocity and acceleration changes when switching frames, emphasizing the importance of understanding the relationship between velocities and accelerations. The lecture covers the transformation of velocities and the Coriolis effect, showcasing examples like the Foucault pendulum to illustrate the practical applications of these concepts.
