- If we put a helicopter in the sky in a standby position, now as the earth rotates the helicopter wont rotate with it .
- the earth keeps rotating and the helicopter will be in the same place earth's rotation wont affect the position of earth as the earth will rotate on its own but only the gravitational force acts on it but it can make it rotate along with it
- u can just take a simple example of sun when the earth rotates the sun will be in the same position but we see it moving
- in the same way the helicopter will be in its same initial position provided no external force acts on it

➪ an object in motion tends to stay in motion (unless acted upon by a net external force).
☆If we put a helicopter in the sky in a standby position, now as the earth rotates the helicopter wont rotate with it .
●Explanation:
☆In a way, we can also refer to this idea as conservation of momentum.Since the helicopter is also sitting on the ground, it's also inside this moving reference frame, and has the momentum that goes with it so the helicopter is also moving at one revolution per day.
☆the earth keeps rotating and the helicopter will be in the same place earth's rotation wont affect the position of earth as the earth will rotate on its own but only the gravitational force acts on it but it can make it rotate along with it.
☆ in the same way the helicopter will be in its same initial position provided no external force acts on it.
☆You can just take a simple example of sun when the earth rotates the sun will be in the same position but we see it moving.
