Is Earth inertial frame of reference?
Earth rotating about its own axis causes an external force that results in the acceleration of the motion of objects. This indicates that the Earth is not an inertial reference frame.
Can you give your own example situation about frame of reference?
For example, when you see a ball roll down a street, you can tell the ball is moving because the frame of reference is the streets, whatever may be on the side of the roads, or the Earth. All of these are frames of reference. All measurements of motion will be compared to a frame of reference.
Is the speed of light constant in accelerating frames of reference?
The key premise to special relativity is that the speed of light (called c = 186,000 miles per sec) is constant in all frames of reference, regardless of their motion.
Is the transverse acceleration of the object moving in a rotating reference frame?
In classical mechanics, the Euler acceleration (named for Leonhard Euler), also known as azimuthal acceleration or transverse acceleration is an acceleration that appears when a non-uniformly rotating reference frame is used for analysis of motion and there is variation in the angular velocity of the reference frame's ...
