Assertion : At object may fall with a constant velocity.
Reason : This happens when acceleration of the object is equal to accelertion due to gravity.

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 )
Velocity of fall becomes constant when downward force due to acceleration is balanced by an upward force of retardation. This constant velocity of an object is known as terminal velocity.

Assertion : In the case of free fall of the lift, the man will feel weightlessness. Reason : In free fall, acceleration of lift is equal to acceleration due to gravity.

What is meant by 'free fall' hence define acceleration due to gravity.

Assertion: An object can have constant speed but variable velocity. Reason: Speed is a scalar but velocity is a vector quantity.

An object falls through a distance h in certain time on the earth. The same object falls through a distance 4h in the same time on a planet. If 'g' is acceleration dur to gravity on the earth then acceleration due to gravity on that planet will be

Assertion : An object may have varying speed without having varying velocity. Reason : If the velocity is zero at an instant, the acceleration may not be zero at that instant.
