The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the Assertion and Reason**: - **Assertion**: For a particle, the acceleration-time graph gives the velocity. - **Reason**: The rate of change of velocity is acceleration. 2. **Analyzing the Reason**: - The reason states that acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. Mathematically, this is expressed as: \[ a = \frac{dv}{dt} \] - This statement is true. It indicates how velocity changes over time. 3. **Understanding the Acceleration-Time Graph**: - An acceleration-time graph plots acceleration (a) on the y-axis against time (t) on the x-axis. - The area under the acceleration-time graph represents the change in velocity (Δv) over a specific time interval. 4. **Relating Area Under the Graph to Velocity**: - If we consider a time interval from \( t_1 \) to \( t_2 \), the area under the acceleration-time graph can be calculated as: \[ \text{Area} = \int_{t_1}^{t_2} a \, dt = \Delta v \] - This means that the area under the curve gives us the change in velocity during that time interval. 5. **Using the Equation of Motion**: - According to the equations of motion, we have: \[ v = u + at \] - If we consider the initial velocity \( u = 0 \), then: \[ v = at \] - This shows that the final velocity is directly related to the acceleration and the time for which it acts. 6. **Conclusion**: - The assertion that the acceleration-time graph gives velocity is correct because the area under the graph provides the change in velocity. - The reason is also correct, but it does not directly explain why the assertion is true. Therefore, both statements are correct, but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer: - Both the assertion and reason are correct, but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion. Thus, the correct option is **B**.
