Assertion : On earth's satellite, we feel weightlessness. Moon is also satellite of earth. But on the surface on moon, we do not feel weightlessness
Reason : Gravitational force by earth on us on the surface of moon is zero. But gravitational force by moon on us on its surface is non-zero.

A

If both Assertin and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion

B

If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion

C

If Assertion is true but Reason is false

D

If Assertion is false but Reason is true

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Gravitational force by earth is utilised in providing the necessary centripetal force for rotating round the earth. That's why this force in not felt to us. But gravitational force. That's moon is unutilised. That's why it is felt.
