Question
A reference frame attached to the earth:
  1. Is an inertial frame by definition.
  2. Cannot be an inertial frame because the earth is revolving around the sun.
  3. Is an inertial frame because Newton's laws are applicable in this frame.
  4. Cannot be an inertial frame because the earth is rotating about its axis.
✓

Answer

  1. Cannot be an inertial frame because the earth is revolving around the sun.
  1. Cannot be an inertial frame because the earth is rotating about its axis.

Explanation:

A reference frame attached to the earth cannot be an inertial frame because the earth is revolving around the sun and also rotating about its axis.
