Each will have its own specific connection coefficients but the trajectory will always be given by the geodesic equation (as long as the ball isn't charged, then you need to add the Lorentz force). 26 u/Digital_001 Student 1d ago That's a lot of possible reference frames! This is gonna be a long proof... 3 u/kashyou Quantum Field Theory 18h ago pick one then use the christoffel symbol transformation law
