Statement I: The reference frame which has zero acceleration is called a non-inertial frame of reference.
Statement II: A reference frame attached to earth is an inertial the frame of reference.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsA
Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
An inertial frame of reference is one that has zero acceleration and in which law of inertia holds good, i.e. Newton's law of motion is applied equally. Since, the earth is revolving around the sun-earth is rotating about its own axis also, the force are acting on earth and hence, there will be no acceleration of earth and hence there will be an acceleration of earth due to these factors. That is why earth cannot be taken as an inertial frame of reference.
