Give difference between inertial and non inertial frames of references?
Inertial Frame of Reference:
Inertial frames are ones which are at rest or moving with uniform velocity with respect to fixed stars. For an observer in such a frame of reference Newton's second law of motion is valid.
Ex: A train moving with uniform velocity is an inertial frame. Non Inertial Frame of Reference: A non inertial frame is one which is accelerated ( linearly or due to rotation) with respect to fixed stars.
Newton's second law of motion is not valid in such a frame of reference, unless we introduce a force called pseudo - force.
Ex: A freely falling elevator may be taken as a non inertial frame.
