STATEMENT-1: A cloth covers a table. Some dishes are kept on it. The cloth can be pulled out without dislodging the dishes from the table.
STATEMENT-2: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

A

(a) Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1

B

(b) Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is NOT a correct explaination for Statement-1

C

(c) Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False

D

(d) Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Statement 1 : Cloth can be pulled out without dislodging the dishes from the table because of inertia. Therefore, statement-1 is true.
Statement 2: This is Newton's third law and hence true. But statement 2 is not a correct explanation of statement 1.

    A table cloth of length L is lying on a table with one of its end at the edge of the table. A block is kept at the centre of the table cloth. A man pulls the end of the table cloth horizontally so as to take it off the table. The cloth is pulled at a constant speed V_(0) . What can you say about the coefficient of friction between the block and the cloth if the block remains on the table (i.e., it does not fall off the edge) as the cloth is pulled out.

    Select the correct statement from the following. I. A cloth on which some dishes are kept can be pulled out without disturbing the dishes, II. Force acts on an object, independent of the other. III. An object dropped from a rising gas balloon initially go up to some distance along with balloon.

    In each of the following questions a statements of Assertion is given followed by the corresponding statements of Reason of the statements, mark the correct answer. Assertion (A) In order to swim, a person pushes the water backwards. Reason (R) To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction,

    Some question (Assertion-Reason type) are given below. Each question contains STATEMENT-1(Assertion) and STATEMENT-2(Reason) . Each question has 4 choices (A),(B),(C ) and (D) out of which ONLY ONE is correct. So select the correct choice : STATEMENT-1 : Two row boats moving parallel to one another are pulled towards one another. STATEMENT-2 : When the boats are close to each other, the velocity of water between them increases and pressure falls according to Bernoull's theorem.

    STATEMENT -1 : Action and reaction acting on a particle cancels each other . STATEMENT -2 : Action and reaction pair acts on different particles . STATEMENT -3 : If an object is placed on a table then normal reaction by the table and weight are action reaction pair and they cancel each other .
