Consider in three-dimensional space a particle that moves at a central potential . Then the equation of motion of the particle is F=m((d^2)r/dt^2)=-∇U(|r|) Consider the transformation of the right-hand side of the equation, ∇U (r), in the Galileo transformation r ′ = r - vt and state that the equation of motion is a Galileo invariant.
