A stationary railway platform on earth is 1) an inertial frame of reference for an observer on earth 2) a non inertial frame of reference for an observer on moon 3) both are true 4) both are false

Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query:


Both the statements are true. Because the railway station for a person on earth is stationary and hence has zero acceleration according to him and hence an inertial frame of reference, while for a person on moon it has acceleration so a non-inertial frame.
