@dmckee when people talked about changing frames of reference, I often heard about how they go from one inertial frame to another via some coordinate transformations, but not heard much about changing into another accelerating frame (e.g. trying to compute some properties of an accelerating projectile by moving into the accelerating frame so that the projectile will be at rest).
Is there a reason other than fictitious force considerations that make transformations into an accelerating frame not an attractive way in computation? For example, how will such scheme break down when used in rela…
