From a system which is accelerating in comparison with an inertial one, so called fictitious inertial forces are observed. This type of system with fictious forces is a non-inertial reference system (acceleration can be observed without real forces).
Simulate a train accelerating and observe how the moving observer and the outside observer describe the movement of the yellow box.
