Difference between inertial and non-inertial reference frames

Reshma · Jan 16, 2005

Could someone explain me in detail the differences between an inertial reference frame and a non-inertial reference frame? Are inertial frames restricted to Euclidean space?

Inertial reference frame is a reference frame free of all external forces and non-inertial reference frame is the just the opposite.

inertial frame is the one where Newton's laws r applicable.and u can guess by this non inertial frames.if any frame having accelaration it does fall under non inertial frame where coriolis force come into play
