Question

Which of the following is the best definition of inertial frame?

A) a frame of reference in which Newtonian mechanics holds true, but relativistic mechanics does not

B) a frame of reference in which relativistic mechanics holds true, but Newtonian mechanics does not

a frame of reference where there are no accelerations without applied forces

a frame of reverence in which Newton's second and third laws hold, but not his first

None of these choices are correct.

None of these choices are correct.

Explanation / Answer

An inertial frame of reference is a frame of reference that describes time and space homogeneously, isotropically, and in a time-independent manner.

for inertial frame of reference ,

both Newtonian and relativistic mechanics will hold

All inertial frames are in a state of constant, rectilinear motion with respect to one another.

the correct choice is :

  
a frame of reference where there are no accelerations without applied forces
