CCR 1: Classical Relativity
... An important question regarding the laws of motion, one that concerned Newton himself and one that you likely studied in first-year physics, is that of the reference frame in which they are valid. It turns out that they work correctly only in what is called an inertial reference frame, a reference f ...

... body is known. It might depend on time, position, velocity, or some combination of these, but its dependence is known from experiment. In such cases, Newton's law becomes a set of three equations of motion which we can solve. There is one equation for each dimension. Example: motion under a constant ...
