inertial frame is one in which isolated particle has constant velocity
but is there actually any "isolated particle " ?
how then can frame be defined as or not being inertial ?
or is it that -
for a system in which acceleration due to external forces is equal for all members ,
the frame of member whose acceleration due to internal forces is negligible
(compared to acceleration due to internal forces of other members) is considered inertial for analyzing motion of other members of system
