Mechanics in Noninertial Reference Frames

Linearly accelerating reference frames

Let [math]\mathcal S_0[/math] represent an inertial reference frame and \mathcal S represent an noninertial reference frame with acceleration [math]\vec A[/math] relative to [math]\mathcal S_0[/math].

Ball thrown straight up

Consider the motion of a ball thrown straight up as viewed from [math]\mathcal S[/math].
