| Nov 1, 2021 at 9:55 | comment | added | Mathew | This is clear now. But how do you find that (in this case) the extra term is the one you wrote? I used the chain rule and got an extra term proportional to the velocity, but the factor in front of it has something to do with the derivative of the parameter of the new parametrization with respect to the the parameter of the old one. I don't see how you get that Christoffel symbol with the 0 upper index. | |
