This lecture covers the principles of mechanics in accelerated frames of reference, focusing on the concept of inertial forces. Topics include the Coriolis force, inertial forces in non-inertial frames, and the relationship between absolute and relative motion. Examples such as a car accelerating, a pendulum in motion, and a carousel ride are used to illustrate these concepts.
