Abstract
So far in our study of the motion of material bodies, we have assumed that we have been working in an inertial coordinate system, that is, a system in which Newton’s equation of motion holds in the form
where F is the force which acts on a particle of mass m. This force can arise from other particles, or can be conveyed by an external field.
