Assertion : Speed of a particle may decrease, even if acceleration is increasing.
Reason: This will happen if acceleration is positive.

A

If the both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is correct explanation of the Assertion.

B

If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.

C

If Assertion is true, but the Reason is false.

D

If Assertion is false but the Reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
If acceleration is in opposite direction of velocity
then speed will be decreasing even if magnitude of
acceleration is increasing.

Assertion : For a particle, acceleration-time graph gives the velocity. Reason : Rate of change of velocity is acceleration.

Assertion:- A particle is moving in a circle with constant tangential acceleration such that its speed v is increasing. Angle made by resultant acceleration of the particle with tangential acceleration increases with time. Reason:- Tangential acceleration =|(dvecv)/(dt)| and centripetal acceleration =(v^(2))/(R)

Assertion :- A particle has positive acceleration it means that its speed always increases. Reason :- Acceleration is the rate of change of speed with respect to time.

The speed of a particle moving in a circle is increasing. The dot product of its acceleration and velocity is

The acceleration time graph of a body moving in a straight is shown in figure. Assertion :- Velocity of the body is continously increasing over the time interval shown. Reason :- Acceleration is positive for all shown value of t .

In the following questions, a statement of assertion is followed by a statement of reason (R). Mark the correct choice as : Assertion. In a non-uniform circular motion, the acceleration of the particle is equal to sum of the tangential acceleration and the centripetal acceleration. Reason. The two accelerations are perpendicular to each other.

Assertion : We know the relation a = v. (dv)/ds . Therefore, if velocity of a particle is zero, then acceleration is also zero. Reason : In the above equation, a is the instantaneous acceleration.

Assertion: A uniform circular motion is an acceleration motion. Reason: Direction of acceleration is parallel to velocity vector.

Assertion : In extreme position of a particle executing S.H.M., both velocity and acceleration are zero. Reason : In S.H.M., acceleration always acts towards mean position.

Assertion: A particle follows only a parabolic path if acceleration is constant. Reason : In projectile motion path is parabolic, as acceleration is assumed to be constant at low heights.
