Inertial diver?
Think about the question below. Only one of the answers listed is correct. We'll do some (but probably not all) of these questions in the lectures when you will all be asked to vote on which answer you think is correct. (Soon afterwards, you'll be able to see your responses, and those of the whole class at EVAF.)
A diver is in free fall after jumping off a diving board. Is the reference frame of the
diver an inertial reference frame?
1 | Yes |
2 | No |
3 | Depends if the diver is rotating or not. |
