A frame of reference that moves with constant velocity with respect to an inertial frame is also an inertial frame. For ex:-train moving with constant velocity with respect to the Earth.

It is a frame of refernce with constany velocity leading to zero acceleration. In such case, either something is moving at constant velocity in a straight line or standing still. It holds Newton's law of Motion and it is called interial frame because an object viewed from this frame will change it's...

It holds Newton's law of Motion and it is called interial frame because an object viewed from this frame will change it's velocity only if an actual non zero force is applied to it. read less
