Kinetic energy change under Galilean transformation

Abstract This paper aims to establish a consistent and accurate definition of an inertial frame of reference. The proposed definition adheres to Newton’s Laws and ensures results that remain invariant under Galilean transformation. Additionally, it upholds the principles of energy and linear momentum conservation.
