Generalized potential for apparent forces: the Coriolis effect

General Physics 2020-03-26 v1

Abstract

It is well known, from Newtonian physics, that apparent forces appear when the motion of masses is described by using a non-inertial frame of reference. The generalized potential of such forces is rigorously analyzed focusing on their mathematical aspects.
