Question
distinguish between:
Inertial and non-inertial frames of reference.
Inertial and non-inertial frames of reference.
| No. | Inertial frame of reference | Non-inertial frame of reference |
| i | The body moves with a constant velocity (can be zero). | The body moves with variable velocity. |
| ii. | Newton’s laws are | Newton’s laws are |
| iii. | The body does not accelerate. | The body undergoes acceleration. |
| iv. | In this frame, force acting on a body is a real force. | The acceleration of the frame gives rise to a pseudo force. |
| Example: A rocket in inter-galactic space (gravity free space between galaxies) with all its engine shut. | Example: If a car just starts its motion from rest, then during the time of acceleration the car will be in a non- inertial frame of reference. |
