Assertion:Mass is a measure of inertia of the body in linear motion.
Reason: Greater the mass, greater is the force required to change its state of rest or of uniform motion.

A

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

B

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

C

If assertion is ture but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Acceleration to Newton's second law of motion `a=(F)/(m)` i.e., magnitude of the acceleration produced by a given force is inversely proportional to the body, lesser will be the acceleration produced i.e., mass of the body is a measure of the opposition offered by the body to change a state, when the force is applied i.e., mass of a body is the measure of its inertia.
