The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the assertion and reason, we will analyze both statements step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that the work done by a force on an object can be different for different observers. - To analyze this, consider a block on which a variable force \( F \) is applied, causing it to displace. 2. **Case Analysis**: - **Case 1**: An observer is stationary with respect to the ground. For this observer, the work done \( W \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ W = F \cdot d \] where \( d \) is the displacement of the block. Here, the work done will be positive since the force and displacement are in the same direction. - **Case 2**: An observer is moving with the block. For this observer, the block does not appear to move (displacement \( d = 0 \)). Therefore, the work done by the force on this observer is: \[ W = F \cdot 0 = 0 \] In this case, the work done is zero. - **Case 3**: An observer is moving in the opposite direction to the block's motion. For this observer, the displacement of the block appears negative. Thus, the work done is: \[ W = F \cdot (-d) < 0 \] Here, the work done is negative because the force and displacement are in opposite directions. 3. **Conclusion from Assertion**: - From the above cases, we can conclude that the work done by the same force can indeed be different for different observers, confirming that the assertion is correct. 4. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that the work done by a force depends on the frame of reference of the observer. - Work done is defined as: \[ W = F \cdot d \] Here, \( F \) is the force (which is frame-independent), and \( d \) is the displacement (which is frame-dependent). - Since the displacement changes based on the observer's frame of reference, the work done will also change. 5. **Conclusion from Reason**: - The reason is also correct as it explains why the work done varies with different observers due to the frame of reference affecting the displacement. 6. **Final Answer**: - Both the assertion and the reason are correct, and the reason provides a correct explanation for the assertion.
