except to the extent that it interacts with other objects
Inertial reference frame

Two ways of thinking
1. The energy of a multiparticle system
consists of the individual particle energies
plus their pair-wise interactions
2. A system itself has energy, like a single
particle, and if the system is at rest (not
individual objects within the system!) its
energy E = Mc2, where M is mass of the
system.
