what is the inertial frame of reference and how is it related to newtons laws of motion?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

inertial frame of reference in which acc. of frame is zero(or frame at rest) let me give you simple example on that suppose a moving car and a person standing on road case 1- for a person standing on road he will observe that driver and car n driver both are moving with some definite acc. so for him there is a net force acting in forward direction case 2- for driver he'll observe that the standing person is moving backwards but in reality there is no force acting on standing person so it cant be solved by newtons laws as they work only for standing man here which is our inertial frame(at rest) only way to solve these types of problems is make that moving frame at rest(virtually) by applying same force in opposite direction to that acting force hence make it inertial frame

it is called sudo force when u shift the reference frame to the object which is moving?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its an imaginary theres nothing as sudo force in real nature but when u change the refrence frame so to apply the newtons law of motion and to make it work we apply sudo force on the opposite direction so as to explain!!!!

thank you a lot Akhil009
