Inertil frme Frme of reference where the frme unit vectors do not depend on time (there is no rottion) nd where there re no externl forces nd ccelertions. Opertionl definition: frme where observer feels no inertil forces. By the previous result: only if the frme is t rest or uniformly trnslting t constnt velocity Newton s first lw: in the bsence of forces prticle moves t constnt velocity. A frme of reference tied to the prticle motion is n inertil frme. Newton s second lw: prticle of mss m cted on by vector force ccelertes with the vector ccelertion F m Undergrdute Clssicl Mechnics Spring 017
