Work Done by Internal Forces and Reference Frames


Assertion (A): Net work done by all the internal force of a system is independent of choice of reference frame.
Reason (R): Value of force is independent of choice of reference frame.
 
Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
(A) is true but (R) is false
Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

Work done by internal forces depends on relative displacement (\(\Delta \vec{r}\)) which is frame-independent, so (A) is true.


The value of a force is generally not independent of the reference frame, especially if non-inertial frames are considered, so (R) is false.
