On Acceleration


In these next postings, what we try to do, we extend the usual standard classical models. In particular, we ape the notion of a coordinate acceleration. That which is equivalent to the difference between the proper acceleration and the acceleration in a frame in which a particle/entity is undergoing constant acceleration.
 The link to this rather tenous example has been provided above.

Imagine that the force/acceleration exerted by a particle M^ (M hat) onto another particle U (mu) changes as M^ approaches U.


In the next frame, imagine that M^ is as a result of the breakdown of a much larger particle. That M^ is the difference between the larger mass M1 and the smaller mass M*.





What we try to develop is a classical theory of how the change in acceleration experienced by U may develop. Essentially, by replacing the mass M^ by its equality. The reason why we may want to do this is so that we explore how generalisations can be made.
