The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) provided. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion (A) The assertion states that a particle is at rest in frame S and is moving with a constant velocity in frame S2. We need to determine if both frames can be considered inertial frames. - **Inertial Frame Definition**: An inertial frame is one in which Newton's first law holds true, meaning that an object either remains at rest or moves at a constant velocity unless acted upon by a net external force. ### Step 2: Analyze Frame S In frame S, the particle is at rest. This means there is no net force acting on the particle, and thus frame S can be classified as an inertial frame. ### Step 3: Analyze Frame S2 In frame S2, the particle is moving with a constant velocity. This also indicates that there is no net force acting on the particle in this frame. Therefore, frame S2 can also be classified as an inertial frame. ### Step 4: Conclusion for Assertion (A) Since both frames S and S2 do not experience any acceleration and adhere to the laws of motion, we can conclude that both frames are indeed inertial frames. ### Step 5: Understand the Reason (R) The reason states that all frames moving uniformly with respect to an inertial frame are themselves inertial. - **Explanation of Reason (R)**: If we have an inertial frame (let's say frame S), and another frame (let's say frame S2) is moving with a constant velocity relative to frame S, then frame S2 will also not experience any acceleration. Thus, it will also be an inertial frame. ### Step 6: Conclusion for Reason (R) The reason is true because it correctly describes the relationship between inertial frames. Any frame moving uniformly with respect to an inertial frame is also inertial. ### Final Conclusion Both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) are true. However, the reason does not serve as a direct explanation for the assertion. Therefore, the correct answer is that both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A. ### Summary of the Solution - Assertion (A) is true: Both frames S and S2 are inertial. - Reason (R) is true: All frames moving uniformly with respect to an inertial frame are themselves inertial. - The correct option is: Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
