Two frame S(1) and S(2) are non-inertial...

Two frame `S_(1)` and `S_(2)` are non-inertial. Then frame `S_(2)` when observed from `S_(1)` is inertial.
A frame in motion is not necessarily a non-inertial frame

A

The relative acceleration of the frame may either be zero or `4ms^(-2)`

B

Their relative acceleration may have any value between `0 and 4 ms^(-2)`.

C

Both the frames may be stationary with respect to earth.

D

The frames may be moving with same acceleration in same direction.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the concepts of inertial and non-inertial frames of reference. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define Inertial and Non-Inertial Frames**: - An **inertial frame** is one in which Newton's first law holds true, meaning that an object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion continues in motion with a constant velocity unless acted upon by a net external force. This frame has zero acceleration. - A **non-inertial frame** is one that is accelerating with respect to an inertial frame. In such frames, fictitious forces (like centrifugal force or Coriolis force) appear to act on objects. 2. **Given Information**: - We have two frames, \( S_1 \) and \( S_2 \), both of which are non-inertial. This means both frames are accelerating. 3. **Observation from Frame \( S_1 \)**: - When we observe frame \( S_2 \) from frame \( S_1 \), we need to analyze the relative acceleration between the two frames. 4. **Acceleration Relationship**: - Let \( a_{S_1} \) be the acceleration of frame \( S_1 \) and \( a_{S_2} \) be the acceleration of frame \( S_2 \). - Since both frames are non-inertial, they have non-zero accelerations. However, when we say that frame \( S_2 \) is observed from \( S_1 \) as inertial, we imply that the relative acceleration between the two frames is zero. This can be expressed as: \[ a_{S_1} - a_{S_2} = 0 \] - This simplifies to: \[ a_{S_1} = a_{S_2} \] - This means that both frames are accelerating at the same rate. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, even though both frames \( S_1 \) and \( S_2 \) are non-inertial, they can be moving with the same acceleration in the same direction. Thus, when viewed from \( S_1 \), \( S_2 \) can appear to be inertial. ### Final Answer: The correct interpretation is that both non-inertial frames \( S_1 \) and \( S_2 \) can have equal accelerations, making \( S_2 \) appear inertial when observed from \( S_1 \). ---
