Question |
| Asked by: |

| Subject: |
Least we should say that gyros breach the First Law of motion! |
| Question: |
The First Law of Motion gives us room to extrapolate that an object moving at steady constant velocity is undistinguishable from an object at rest when perceived from within its own frame of reference (i.e. velocity is relative to an observer’s perspective, from the observer’s frame of reference).
Through this thread I intend to present logical proof that even though the FIRST Law of motion is wholly applicable to LINEAR velocity, it is however NOT applicable to angular motion, according to the definition of the First law (which is available for review in physics books and on the web).
(Therefore a corollary is needed to extend the first law, so that it is suitable to angular motions. I will not yet attempt to phrase that corollary.)
