Motion of a classical object with oscillating mass

General Physics 2011-03-18 v1

Abstract

We examine the problem of motion of an oscillating mass object provided no external force is applied to it. Calculations directly lead to the conclusion that the body accelerates in each system of reference except for the rest reference frame. Although its motion is periodic, it bears no resemblance to harmonic oscillations.
