Which of the following is the correct statement regarding the inertial reference frame?
Select one:
a. An inertial reference frame must be fixed
b. A reference frame fixed to the earth is not a true inertial reference frame
c. None of the above
d. An inertial reference frame can move with a non-constant velocity
e. An inertial reference frame can have rotations
Answer : option B
Reason: Any reference frame fixed to earth is not a true inertial reference frame , because earth cannot be treated as inertial reference frame because it revolves around the sun and rotates around itself , So earth can't be considered as inertial reference frame and hence any frame fixed to non inertial reference frame can't be taken as inertial reference frame.
