Everything about Inertial frame of reference
Fundamental concept of classical mechanics
In classical physics and special relativity, an inertial frame of reference is a frame of reference in which objects exhibit inertia: they remain at rest or in uniform motion relative to the frame until acted upon by external forces. In such a frame, the laws of nature can be observed without the need to correct for acceleration. Wikipedia →
