Abstract
A recently suggested procedure to define inertial forces in a general spacetime is considered in the Newtonian limit, and found to be in contradiction with Newtonian mechanics when the gravitational field is time dependent. A slight modification of the fundamental equation of the formalism, however, restores the validity of the correspondence principle.File in questo prodotto:
