Examples

  • The concept of an inertial frame is crucial in understanding the laws of motion, as it provides a reference point for measuring the motion of objects.
  • A car moving at a constant speed on a straight road can be considered an inertial frame, as long as it's not accelerating or decelerating.
  • An astronaut in a spaceship that is not accelerating can consider the ship to be an inertial frame, allowing them to move around freely inside the ship.
