hi aditya this is kedar joshi.

the answer is yes, it can be applied,

non inertial mass means it doesnot show any resistance on acceleration.

acc, to newtons law of gravitation  every particle attracts other particle (both having mass),seperated by a distance.

 if they are inertial or non inertial masses they still attrct each other or force acts between them.
