Problem 20
Newton's first law can be stated: If an object is isolated (subject to no
forces), then it moves with constant velocity. We know that this is invariant
under the Galilean transformation. Prove that it is also invariant under the
Lorentz transformation. [Assume that it is true in an inertial frame
