  1. inertial reference frame

    An inertial reference frame is a frame of reference in physics within which objects either remain at rest or move in straight lines with constant velocity, unless acted upon by outside forces. In this frame, Newton's first law of motion - the law of inertia - holds true. Under transformation between two such frames, physical laws remain the same according to the principle of special relativity.
