No impressive display of pyrotechnics, the inertial dampening system gave up the ghost with a whimper. |
The speed of a mechanical wave in a medium is proportional to the square root of the ratio of elastic and inertial properties of the medium. |
It is not restricted to inertial frames, and it encompasses a broader range of phenomena, namely gravity and accelerated motions. |
Another way of understanding the situation is to remember the equivalence Einstein explained between gravitational and inertial forces. |
So the public's information inputs will tend to continue a perception of grinding, inertial failure. |
Photons, according to the special theory of relativity, move in vacuum with the same speed in all inertial frames of reference. |
