Assertion: Force is always in the direction of motion.
Reason: In every case force is not parallel to acceleration.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is not the correct explaination 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:
D

Force is not always in the direction of motion Depending on the situation, `vec(F)` may be along `vec(v)` , opposite to `vec(v)` , normal to `vec(v)` . In every case it is parallel to acceleration.

If force is always parallel to motion

Can force determine the direction of motion ? Direction of acceleration ?

Assertion : Friction always opposes the motion. Reason : Whenever one surface moves or tries to move over another surface, the force of friction starts acting on the surfaces.

Assertion : No force is required by the body to remain in any state. Reason : In uniform linear motion, acceleration has a finite value.

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

Assertion In circular motion, acceleration of particle is not always towards centre. Reason If speed of particle is not constant, acceleration is not towards centre.

Assertion :- Work done is positive when force acts in the direction of displacement. Reason :- Work done by frictional force can not be positive.

These questions consists of two statements each printed as Assertion and Reason. While answering these question you are required to choose any one of the following four responses Assertion When a person walks on a rough surface, the net force exerted by surface on the person in the direction of his motion. Reason It is force exerted by the road on the person that causes the motion.

Frictional force always opposes motion of a body.
