Talk:Fictitious force

message: Einstein notation and Newton's notation for derivatives could be used to make the mathematical derivation section more concise. For example:
:\mathbf{F}_\mbox{fictitious} = -m(\mathbf{a}_\mathrm{AB} + 2v_j\dot{\mathbf{u}}^j + x_j\ddot{\mathbf{u}}^j).
compared to
: \mathbf{F}_{\mbox{fictitious}} = -m\mathbf{a}_\mathrm{AB} - 2m\sum_{j=1}^3 v_j \frac{d \mathbf{u}_j}{dt} - m \sum_{j=1}^3 x_j \frac{d^2 \mathbf{u}_j}{dt^2} . 
The rest of the section could be edited in a consistent manner.
Or is the original one better? What do you guys think?

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The section "Orbiting and rotating" does not give a full solution to the problem it addresses. The article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clohessy-Wiltshire_equations is the proper and academically accepted solution to the problem. Can we please place a link there? -Theanphibian (talk • contribs) 17:51, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I have placed “See also: Clohessy-Wiltshire equations” immediately below the sub-heading Orbiting and rotating. Dolphin (t) 23:29, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Link request 

message: The section "Crossing a carousel" links to "Coriolis effect § Cannon on turntable" but this section does not exist in the Coriolis Effect article.  Has that section been deleted due to new research or something ?  Please would someone knowledgeable sort this out ?  Darkman101 (talk) 00:34, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. Thanks for alerting us to this problem. I have removed mention of "Cannon on turntable". See my diff. Dolphin (t) 12:19, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mystery of the Missing Link 

message: I have a question about the map frame/spin frame animation which is under the "circular motion" paragraph.... I think it is brilliant and it shows the "fictional centrifugal force" beautifully.....but the text under it ? 'From the map frame perspective, what is dangerous on losing centripetal acceleration may be speed. From the spin frame perspective, the danger instead may lie with the geometric acceleration which gives rise to that fictitious force.'
What danger ??? I have studied it and find it incomprehensible. Anyone care to explain ?
