Inertial Frame

Definition: An inertial frame, in physics, refers to a reference frame in which a body that is not subject to any external forces remains at rest or moves with constant velocity in a straight line.

Example: In an inertial frame, if an astronaut is floating freely in space without any external forces acting upon them, they will remain in the same position or continue to move at a constant velocity in a straight line.
