Classical Understanding Frames of Reference in Force and Motion for 10+2 Students

[rudransh verma]

I was starting out some problems on force and motion at 10+2 level. I was told you don’t need to know about frame of reference. But I want to. So which books are there to understand frames? Is it a part of relativity? If yes then which books?
Thank you guys.

1) accounting for different reference frames is different between classical mechanics and relativity. So ignore relativity for now.
2) There are two sorts of reference frames: accelerating/rotating (non-inertial) and non-accelerating (inertial)
3) Non-accelerating frames involve accounting for a velocity term in the various interections. Nothing too hard.
4) Acclerating/rotating frames add the complication of fictitious forces. Does your book mention them? If not, it is described in most college freshman texts.
