Well, if you use an accelerating frame of reference, things happen that
Newtonian mechanics cannot explain.
For example, a videotape taken by a camera on a merry-go-round will
show an object thrown in the air following a curved (side to side)
path. In fact, you can toss something, and it can curve around so you
can catch it. No real force is present to account for this motion.
Of coures, as seen from a camera mounted on the ground, the tossed
object follows a simple straight arc, while the tosser moves around to
be in the catching position.
Or so I've heard, anyway...
