### Step-by-Step Text Solution 1. **Definition of Inertial Frame of Reference**: An inertial frame of reference is defined as a frame in which an object either remains at rest or moves at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. This means that in an inertial frame, the laws of motion, particularly Newton's laws, hold true. 2. **Condition of Acceleration**: In an inertial frame, the acceleration is zero. This implies that the frame is non-accelerated. If a frame is accelerating, it cannot be considered inertial because objects within that frame would appear to be influenced by fictitious forces. ...
