Q1 of 119 Page 157

Consider the following two equations:

(A)


and (B)


In a noninertial frame


Equation A is position of centre of mass. Which is irrespective of motion of frame, where as equation B is second law of Newtonian mechanics and we know that laws of motion doesn’t hold in noninertial frame. So, option C is correct.
