A reference frame attached to the earth

A

is an inertial frame by definition.

B

cannot be an inertial frame because the earth is revolving round the sun.

C

is an inertial frame because Newton's laws are applicable in this frame.

D

cannot be an inertial frame because the earth is rotating about its own axis.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, D

Since earth is an accelerated frame and hence, cannot be an inertial frame.
