MCQ
A reference frame attached to earth cannot be an inertial frame because
  • A
    earth is revolving around the sun
  • B
    earth is rotating about its axis
  • ✓
    both (a) and (b)
  • D
    Newton's laws are applicable in this frame
✓

Answer

Correct option: C.
both (a) and (b)
c
(c)

If earth is revolving around the sun or earth is rotating about its axis, then forces are acting on the earth and hence there will be acceleration of earth due to these forces. That is why earth can not be an inertial frame of reference.
