H2.1- H2.3 Relativity

What conditions must be satisfied for an inertial frame of reference?
It must be at a constant speed

Give an example in which it appears as though there is an inertial frame of reference but in fact there is not
When it is in circular motion

What problem does special relativity not account for?
It does not account for Gravity

The concept of simultaneity.
Simultaneity is when two events happen together. 
Event that take place at the same time in space will be simultaneous to all observers where as events that take place at different point in space can be simultaneous to one observer but not another.
