MCQ
A reference frame attached to earth cannot be an inertial frame because
- Aearth is revolving around the sun
- Bearth is rotating about its axis
- ✓both (a) and (b)
- DNewton's laws are applicable in this frame
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
both (a) and (b)
c
(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.

→Two spherical stars $A$ and $B$ have densities $\rho_A$ and $\rho_B$, respectively. $A$ and $B$ have the same radius, and their masses $M_A$ and $M_B$ are related by $M_B=2 M_A$. Due to an interaction process, star $A$ loses some of its mass, so that its radius is halved, while its spherical shape is retained, and its density remains $\rho_A$. The entire mass lost by $A$ is deposited as a thick spherical shell on $B$ with the density of the shell being $\rho_4$. If $v_A$ and $v_B$ are the escape velocities from $A$ and $B$ after the interaction process, the ratio $\frac{v_B}{v_A}=\sqrt{\frac{10 n}{15^{1 / 3}}}$. The value of $n$ is. . . . .
