प्रश्न
A person says that he measured the acceleration of a particle to be non-zero even though no force was acting on the particle.
पर्याय
He is a liar.
His clock might have run slow.
His metre scale might have been longer than the standard.
He might have used a non-inertial frame.
उत्तर
He might have used a non-inertial frame
If no force is acting on a particle and yet, its acceleration is non-zero, it means the observer is in a non-inertial frame.

A body of mass 0.40 kg moving initially with a constant speed of 10 m s–1 to the north is subject to a constant force of 8.0 N directed towards the south for 30 s. Take the instant the force is applied to be t = 0, the position of the body at that time to be x = 0, and predict its position at t = –5 s, 25 s, 100 s.
