... Any reference frame that moves with constant velocity relative to an inertial frame is itself an inertial frame. If you accelerate relative to an object in an inertial frame, you are observing the object from a non-inertial reference frame. A reference frame that moves with constant velocity relativ ...

However, an important assumption in Newtonian mechanics is that any two observers, using any choice of reference frames, agree on their measurements of distances – provided they us ...
