Do the Inertial Forces Represent Virtual Forces? Is the Centrifugal Force a Virtual Force?
One of the classical physics and engineering mechanics dogmata is an assumption that an inertial reference system is free of inertia forces. Such a statement is migrating from one educational manual to another one in spite of the obvious effect of inertia forces when attempting to slow-down the body’s motion or when moving alone a curvilinear trajectory. This statement exists despite the fact that a car turnover at a deep-lunged torque occurs in an inertial reference system under effect of a centrifugal force. In that case it is forgotten that the first law of Newton is also referred to as the law of inertia. It is also forgotten that Newton’s doctrine is built on the basis of inertia laws and forces whereby bodies are interacting when in collision are the inertia forces. 6. Is the Centripetal Force a Real Force? The classical mechanics has expelled the inertia forces originating when a body is moving along a forced curvilinear trajectory and introduced centripetal forces. The planetar
