In inertial frame of reference, Newton’s first and second laws are valid. The motion is defined on relative basis. Generally, we define the motion assuming the earth to. be stationary and the Earth is supposed to be the inertial frame of reference. Therefore, the gravitational force acts on a body on the, Earth even when its acceleration is zero.
