The correct Answer is:
To solve the given question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states: "Acceleration and velocity cannot change values abruptly at an instant." - **Explanation**: In physics, particularly in kinematics, both acceleration and velocity are defined as continuous quantities. This means that they change gradually over time rather than instantaneously. For example, if a car is accelerating, it does not go from 0 m/s to 60 m/s instantaneously; it takes time to reach that speed. ### Step 2: Understand the Reason The reason states: "Their changes can either be continuous or discontinuous." - **Explanation**: While changes in velocity and acceleration can theoretically be described as continuous or discontinuous, in practical terms, for real-world objects, changes are typically continuous. Discontinuous changes would imply an instantaneous change, which is not physically realistic for acceleration and velocity in most scenarios. ### Step 3: Evaluate the Truth of Each Statement - The assertion is **true** because acceleration and velocity indeed cannot change abruptly; they change gradually. - The reason is **false** because, while it suggests that changes can be discontinuous, in the context of classical mechanics, we generally consider them to be continuous. ### Conclusion Based on the analysis: - The assertion is true. - The reason is false. Thus, the correct answer is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. ### Final Answer Assertion: True Reason: False
