Assertion : If there is no external torque on a body about its centre of mass, then the velocity of the centre of mass remains constant.
Reason : The linear momentum of an isolated system remains constant.

A

Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is a correct explanation for Assertion.

B

Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is not a correct explanation for Assertion.

C

Assertion is true and Reason is false.

D

Assertion is false and Reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The absence of external torque does not ensure the absence of external force. If external force is present then the velocity of centre of mass will not remain constant. Thus statement 1 is false.
The linear momentum of an isolated system remains constant because no external force acts on such a system. Thus statement 2 is true.
