If we are moving with constant velocity frame then the inertial state is same as:

Correct answer: A. Rest frame

  • A. Rest frame
  • B. Accelerating frame
  • C. Non-inertial frame
  • D. All of these

Explanation

A rest frame associated to a particle will be inertial if the particle is free, i.e. it does not interact with anything. This is actually the first Newton's law and it gives a definition of an inertial frame.

About Newton's Laws of Motion

Newton’s laws explain inertia, the relation between net force and acceleration, and action-reaction pairs. Questions involve free-body diagrams, balanced and unbalanced forces, F = ma, force as the rate of change of momentum, and identifying genuine third-law pairs, which act on different bodies.
