Assertion: On a rainy day, it is difficult to drive a car or bus at high speed.
Reason: The value of coefficient of friction is lowered due to wetting of the surface.

A

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

B

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

C

If assertion is true but reason is false

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
On a rainy day, the roads are wet. Wetting of roads lowers the coefficient of friction between the tyres and the road. Therefore, grip on a road of car reduces and thus chances of skidding increases.

Assertion A block of mass m starts moving on a rough horizontal surface with a velocity v. It stops due to friction between the block and the surface after moving through a certain distance. The surface is now tilted to an angle of 30^(@) with the horizontal and the same block is made to go up on the surface with the same initial velocity v. The decrease in the mechanical energy in the second situation is smaller than that in the first situation. Reason The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface decreases with the increase in the anglle of inclination.

Asseration : A block of mass m starts moving on a rough horizontal surface with a velocity v. It stops due to friction between the block and the surface after moving through a ceratin distance. The surface is now tilted to an angle of 30^@ with the horizontal and same block is made to go up on the surface with the same initial velocity v. The decrease in the mechanical energy in the second situation is small than the first situation. Reason : The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface decreases with the increase in the angle of inclination.

If a charged particle is projected on a rough horizontal surface with speed v_(0) . Find the value of dynamic coefficient of friction, if the kinetic energy of system is constant.

A block of mass m height 2h and width 2b rests on a flat car which moves horizontally with constant acceleration a as shown in figure. Determine a. the value of the acceleration at which slipping of the block on the car starts, if the coefficient of friction is mu . b. the value of the acceleration at which block topples about A , assuming sufficient friction to prevet slipping and c. the shortest distance in which it can be stopped from a speed of 20 ms^(-1) with constant deceleration so that the block is not disturbed. The following data are given b=0.6 m, h=0.9m, mu=0.5 and g=10ms^(-2)

A car is driven round a curved path of radius 18 m without the danger of skidding. The coefficient of friction between the tyres of the car and the surface of the curved path is 0.2. What is the maximum speed in kmph of the car for safe driving ? [g = 10 ms^(-1) ]

A motercyclist wants to drive on the vertical surface of wooden 'well' of radius 5 m, with a minimum speed of 5sqrt5ms^(-1) . The minimum value of coefficient of friction between the tyres and the well must be (take, g = 10 ms^(-2) )

Assertion : Static friction is a self-adjusting force upto its limit mu_(s)N "where" mu_(s) is the coefficient of static friction. Reason: One can use the equation f_(s)=mu_(s)N only when the maximum value of static friction comes into play

Assertion: Two blocks of masses m_(A) and m_(B) (gtm_(A) are thrown towards each other with same speed over a rough ground. The coefficient of friction of both the blocks with ground is same. Initial velocity of CM is towards left. Reason: Initial acceleration of center of mass is towards right.

Assertion: When brakes are applied on a wet road, a car is likely to skid. Reason: Brakes prevent rotation of the wheels, and there is not sufficient friction between the road and the whells.

When the road is dry and coefficient of friciton is mu , the maximum speed of a car in a circular path is 10 ms^(-1) . If the road becomes wet and coefficient of friction becomes (mu)/4 , what is the maximum speed permited ?
