Non-inertial reference frame

Reference frame that undergoes acceleration with respect to an inertial frame

A non-inertial reference frame (also known as an accelerated reference frame) is a frame of reference that undergoes acceleration with respect to an inertial frame. An accelerometer at rest in a non-inertial frame will, in general, detect a non-zero acceleration. While the laws of motion are the same in all inertial frames, they vary in non-inertial frames, with apparent motion depending on the acceleration.
