A reference frame attached to the earth

A

a. is an inertial frame by definition

B

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

C

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

D

d. cannot be an incrtical frame because the Earth is rotating about its own axis

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b,c
Option `a` is wrong since earth is an acceleration and hence cannot be as inetial force
option `b` is correct
option `c` is uncorrect stricly speaking as earth is acceleration referance fram (earth is treated as a reference force for praticaly exeples and newton 's lows are applicable toa only as a limiting (d) is correct

Assertion :- A particle on earth found to be at rest when seen from a frame U_(1) and moving with a constant velocity when seen from another frame U_(2) . Then both frames may be non - inertial. Reason :- A reference frame attached to the earth must be an inertial frame.

A refrence frame attached to the earth

(A) : A reference frame attached to earth is a non inertial frame of reference. (R) : The reference frame which has an acceleration is called a non inertial frame of reference.

Two satellites A and B of equal mass move in the equatorial plane of the earth, close to earth's surface. Satellite A moves in the same direction as the of the rotation of the earth while satellite B moves in the opposite direction. Calclate the ratio of the kinetic energy of B of that of A in the reference frame fixed to the earth (g=9.8ms^(-2) and radius of the earth =6.37xx10^(6)km)

A block of mass m can slide along a frictionless inclined plane, is attached to a ideal spring of spring constant as shown in the figure. Find the period of its oscillation. (Frame of reference attached to the wedge is at rest)

A +6muC point charge is moving at a constant velocity of 8xx10^6 ms^-1 in the +y direction, relative to a reference frame. At the instant when the point charge is at the origin of this reference frame, what is the magnetic field vector it produces at the following points? (a) x=0.500m, y=0, z=0, and (b) x=0, y=-0.500m, z=0 .

(A):A balloon ascends from the surface of earth with constant speed.When it was at a height 50m above the ground,a packet is dropped from it .To an abserver on the balloon,the displacement of the packet,from the moment it is dropped to the moment it reaches the surface of earth is 50m. (R ):Displacement vector does not depend upon the reference frame used to measure it.

Here's another paradox from the theory of relativity. Let a spring be perpendicular to the speed of the reference frame. Acted upon by the force F, the spring extends by a length to l_(0)=F_(0)//k . As is well known, transition from one reference frame to another leaves the lateral dimensions unaltered (see Problem 6.1), therefore != lo- Isn't this in contradiction with the fact that as a result of such a transition the lateral force changes in accordance with the law F=F_(0) sqrt(1-v^2//c^2)?

Assertion: The driver in a vechicle moving with a constant speed on a straight road is in a non-inertial frame of referance. Reason: A reference frame in which Newton's laws of motion are applicable is non-inertial.
