Galilean Invariance and the General Covariance of Nonrelativistic Laws
American journal of physics, v 40(5), pp 683-687
May 1972
Abstract
The Galilean invariance of nonrelativistic laws is reviewed with particular attention given to the transformation properties of field-theoretic quantities. It is then shown that Galilean-invariant nonrelativistic laws generally manifest a broader covariance, the laws retaining their form under coordinate transformations to noninertial frames which move with arbitrary accelerative translational motion (without rotation) with respect to inertial frames.
