The correct Answer is:
To determine where Newton's laws of motion are valid, we need to analyze the given options based on the concept of inertial and non-inertial reference frames. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Inertial Frames**: - Newton's laws of motion are valid only in inertial frames. An inertial frame is one where an object either remains at rest or moves at a constant velocity unless acted upon by a net external force. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1**: "Any reference frame" - This option is incorrect because Newton's laws do not apply in non-inertial frames (frames that are accelerating). - **Option 2**: "A frame moving with constant velocity with respect to an inertial frame" - This option is correct. A frame moving at a constant velocity is still considered an inertial frame, and thus Newton's laws are valid here. - **Option 3**: "Reference frames which are at rest with respect to an inertial frame" - This option is also correct. Frames at rest relative to an inertial frame are inertial frames themselves, so Newton's laws apply. - **Option 4**: "The reference frame attached to the Earth" - This option is incorrect. The Earth is not an inertial frame due to its rotation and the presence of gravitational forces acting on it, making it a non-inertial frame. 3. **Conclusion**: - The correct answers are **Option 2** and **Option 3**. Newton's laws are valid in these frames. ### Summary of Correct Options: - **Correct Options**: 2 and 3 - **Incorrect Options**: 1 and 4
