Does the conservation of momentum hold in a non-inertial frame of reference?

Explanation:
Conservation of momentum states that the total momentum of a system remains constant if no net external force acts on it. This principle is derived from Newton's laws of motion, which are valid only in inertial frames of reference. In a non-inertial frame, fictitious forces (like centrifugal or Coriolis forces) appear due to the acceleration of the frame itself. These fictitious forces are not real interaction forces between objects within the system and do not have corresponding reaction forces. Therefore, the net force on a system in a non-inertial frame is not zero even if all real external forces are zero, leading to a change in momentum.
