1 Newonian Relaii A referene frame in whih Newon s laws are alid is alled an inerial frame Newonian priniple of relaii or Galilean inariane If Newon s laws are alid in one referene frame, hen he are also alid in a referene frame moing a niform eloi relaie o he firs ssem Ths his moing frame is also an inerial frame
