Solution

The correct option is B non-intertial frames
A fictitious force is an apparent force that acts on all masses whose motion is described using a non-inertial frame of reference, such as a rotating reference frame.

Centripetal force is present in both inertial and non inertial frame of reference then how centrifugal force is only present in non inertial frame of reference, it simply means that it is absent in inertial frame of reference , is it true?

Q. Assertion :A concept of pseudo forces is valid both for inertial as well as non-inertial frame of reference. Reason: A frame accelerated with respect to an inertial frame is a non-inertial frame.

Q. Consider the following two statements A and B and identify the correct choice in the given choices:
A) Centripetal force, centrifugal force are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction but they are not force of action and force of reaction respectively because both act on same body.
B ) Centrifugal force is a pseudo force in both inertial frame of reference and non inertial frame of reference.

Q. A particle stays at rest as seen in a frame. We can conclude that
(a) the frame is inertial
(b) resultant force on the particle is zero
(c) the frame may be inertial but the resultant force on the particle is zero
(d) the frame may be non-inertial but there is a non-zero resultant force

Q. Assertion :When a stationary object is observed from rotating frame of reference, the object is seen to rotate in the reverse direction with the same angular velocity as that of the frame. Reason: Rotating frame of reference is non-inertial frame and from this frame we have to apply a centrifugal force which balances the centripetal force.
