The correct Answer is:
To solve the given question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "For applying the second law of motion, there is no conceptual distinction between inanimate and animate objects." - The second law of motion, formulated by Newton, states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object multiplied by its acceleration (F = ma). This law applies universally to all objects, regardless of whether they are living (animate) or non-living (inanimate). 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "An animate object requires an external force to accelerate." - This statement is also true. For example, a person needs to exert force (through muscle action) to walk or run, and without external forces like friction, they cannot accelerate. 3. **Evaluating the Relationship**: - While both the assertion and the reason are true, they are not directly related in a cause-and-effect manner. The assertion speaks about the applicability of the second law to all objects, while the reason discusses the need for external forces for acceleration in animate objects specifically. 4. **Conclusion**: - Both statements are true, but the reason does not serve as a correct explanation for the assertion. Therefore, the assertion is true, the reason is true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer: - The assertion is true, the reason is true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

Assertion: The terms action and reaction in the third law of motion stand for simultaneous mutual force between a pair of bodies. Reason: In this context action always precede or cause reaction.

Assertion: In projectile motion, the acceleration is constant in both magnitude and direction but the velocity changes in both magnitude and direction. Reason: When a force or accelration is acting in an oblique direction to the direction of velocity then both magnitude and direction of the velocity may be changed.

Assertion : For a free falling object, the next external force is just the weight of the object . Reason : In this case the downward acceleration of the object is equal to the acceleration due to gravity.

Assertion : Animate object can accelerate in the absence of external force. Reason : Newton's second law is not applicable on animate object.

Assertion: For motion in two or three diemensions, velocity and acceleration vecotrs must have any angle between 0^(@) and 90^(@) between them. Reason: For such motion velocity and acceleration of an object is always in the opposite direction.

Assertion: In a perfectly inelastic collision in the absence of external forces , the kinetic energy is never conserved. Reason: The objects deformed and stick together in this type of collision.

Assertion: The trajectory of an object moving under the same accleration due to gravity can be straight line or a parabola depending on the initial conditions. Reason: The shape of the trajectory of the motion of an object is determined by the acceleration alone.

Assertion :- Mostly aquatic animals are ammonotelic. Reason :- Ammonia is the most toxic form and requires large amount of water for its elimination.

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

These questions consists of two statements each printed as Assertion and Reason. While answering these question you are required to choose any one of the following five reponses (a) If both Assertion and Reason arecorrect and Reason is the correct explanation of Asserrtion. (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. Assertion An object A is dropped from the top of an incline at t=0, as shown. It will fall under gravity as indicated by the arrow. At the same time, i.e., t=0, another object B begins to slide down the frictionless incline. The two objects during their motion to the ground level will be travelling at equal speeds. Reason Net force on both the objects during their motion is same.
