Assertion : A particle may be momentarily at rest and yet have non-zero acceleration.
Reason : The zero velocity of a particle at any instant does not necessarily imply zero acceleration at that instant.

A

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

B

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

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason is false

The correct Answer is:
To analyze the question, we need to evaluate the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "A particle may be momentarily at rest and yet have non-zero acceleration." - This means that even if the velocity of a particle is zero at a specific moment, it can still be accelerating. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "The zero velocity of a particle at any instant does not necessarily imply zero acceleration at that instant." - This indicates that just because a particle's velocity is zero at a certain moment, it does not mean that the acceleration must also be zero at that moment. 3. **Example to Illustrate**: - Consider a car that is moving with an initial velocity (u) of 3 m/s and comes to a stop (final velocity, v = 0 m/s) after a certain time (t). - We can use the equation of motion: \[ v = u + at \] - Rearranging this gives us: \[ a = \frac{v - u}{t} \] - Plugging in the values, we have: \[ a = \frac{0 - 3}{t} = -\frac{3}{t} \, \text{m/s}^2 \] - If we assume t = 5 seconds, then: \[ a = -\frac{3}{5} = -0.6 \, \text{m/s}^2 \] - Here, the car is momentarily at rest (v = 0), but the acceleration is non-zero (a = -0.6 m/s²). 4. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason provides a correct explanation for the assertion, we conclude that the assertion is correct and the reason is also correct. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

The velocity of a particle is zero at t=0

The position of a particle at any point instant is x . Find the velocity and acceleration at any instant .

Assertion : A body is momentarily at rest at the instant it reverses the direction. Reason : A body cannot have acceleration if its velocity is zero at a given instant of time.

Can a body have zero velocity and finite acceleration?

Assertion : For a particle, acceleration-time graph gives the velocity. Reason : Rate of change of velocity is acceleration.

Assertion : An object may have varying speed without having varying velocity. Reason : If the velocity is zero at an instant, the acceleration may not be zero at that instant.

Assertion : Average velocity can’t be zero in case of uniform acceleration. Reason : For average velocity to be zero, a non zero velocity should not remain constant.

Assertion: If a body is momentarily at rest, it means that force or acceleration are necessarily zero at that instant. Reason: Force on a body at a given time is determined by the direction of motin only.

Assertion :- A particle having zero acceleration must have constant speed. Reason :- A Particle having constant speed must have zero acceleration.
