Knowledge Check

  • Assertion : If the displacement of the body is zero, the distance covered by it may not be zero. Reason : Displacement is a vector quantity and distance is a scalar quantity.

    A
    If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
    B
    If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
    C
    If assertion is true but reason is false.
    D
    If the assertion and reason both are false

  • Assertion: Displacement of a body may be zero when distance travelled by it is not zero. Reason: The displacement is the longest distance between initial and final position.

    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.
