inertially
Through resistance unchanged
In a manner relating to inertia—the tendency of objects to resist changes in motion.
Used primarily in physics and engineering contexts: The spacecraft moved inertially through the vacuum, inertially stabilized platforms.
An inertially guided system navigates by measuring acceleration from a known starting point rather than relying on external signals.
