Assertion: Multiplying any vector by an ...

Assertion: Multiplying any vector by an scalar is meaningful operatons.
Reason: In uniform motion spedd remains constant.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both aseertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
We can multiply any vector by any scalar. For example, in equation `vec(F)= mvec(v)` mass is a scalar quantity, but acceleration is a vector quantity.
