Assertion : When a bicycle is in motion, the force of friction exerted by the ground on the two wheels is always in forward direction. Reason : The frictional force acts only when the bodies are in contact

Assertion: If a projectile explodes in mid air, then no external force acts on the projectile during explosions. Reason: Center of mass in this case follows the same path.

Assertion :- A ball is thrown from the edge of a very high clif. No matter what the angle at which it is thrown , due to air resistance, the ball will eventually end up moving vertically downward. Reason :- In horizontal direction there is a component of retarding force of air resistance alone.

Assertion: When the body is dropped or thrown horizontally form the same height, it would reach the ground at the same time. Reason: Horizontal velocity has no effect on the vertical direction.

A ball starts falling under the effect of gravitational force from a height of 45m. When it reaches a height of 25 m. When it reaches a height of 25 m it explodes into two pieces of mass ratio 1:2 . There is no change in the vertical motion of the piece after the explosion but they acquire horizontal velocity. If the heavier piece gains a horizontal velocity of 10ms^(-1) , then the distance between the two pieces when both of them strike the ground is

Assertion : A body can be at rest even when it is under the action of may number of external forces Reason : Because vector sum of the all external forces is zero .

Assertion: A projectile gets exploded at its highest point. All the piece get only horizontal velocities. Reason: The weight of the projectile is the external force for projectile.

A projectile of mass mis fired with an initial velocity v_(0) at an angle 0 to the horizontal. At its highest point, it explodes into two fragments of equal mass. One of the fragments falls vertically with zero initial speed. Since the only external force acting on the system is gravitational, the motion of centre of mass of the_ system (the fragments) follows the same parabolic path as the projectile would have followed if there had been no explosion. Force of explosion is internal, it cannot change the trajectory of the system.
