QUESTION:
Using arguments similar to those of Section 15.2, prove that Newton's first and third laws are invariant under the Galilean transformation.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
We can see that if we have a force that produces an acceleration in one system, the
acceleration is the same in all Galilean transformed systems. So, if we have no force, there is no and no , which means no acceleration in any system transformed by Galilean transformations. Thus, the body continues his motion unless acted on by a force.
