Assertion : The magnitude of the displacement for a course of motion may be zero.
Reason : The path length for the corresponding course of motion is zero.

A

If both assertion and reason are trure and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanations of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason is false

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
(c)
(c ) : The magnitude of the displacement for a course of motion may be zero but the corresponding path length is non-zero. For example, if a car starts from a point O, goes to a point P and then returns to O. The final position coincides with the initial position and the displacement is zero. The path length of this journey is OP + OP = 2OP.

Assertion : The average speed of an object is greater than or equal to the magnitude of the average velocity over a given time interval. Reason : The two are equal only if the path length is equal to the magnitude of displacement.

Assertion : The gerph between velocity and displacement for a harmonic oscillation is a parabola Reason : Velocity does not change uniformly with displacement in simple harmonic motion

Assertion , No work is done if the displacement is zero Reason: Work done by the force is defined to be the product of component of the force in the the direction of the displacement and the magnitude of displacement.

Assertion : Acceleration is proportional to the displacement. This condition is not sufficient for motion in simple harmonic. Reason : In simple harmonic motion direction of displacement is also considered.
