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.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason question, we need to analyze both statements carefully. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that the trajectory of an object moving under the same acceleration due to gravity can be either a straight line or a parabola depending on the initial conditions. - This is true because the path taken by a projectile is influenced by its initial velocity and the angle of projection. 2. **Analyzing the Reason**: - The reason claims that the shape of the trajectory of the motion of an object is determined solely by acceleration. - This statement is false because while acceleration due to gravity affects the motion, the trajectory also heavily depends on the initial velocity and the angle of projection. 3. **Examples to Illustrate**: - When an object is thrown vertically upwards (90 degrees to the horizontal), it follows a straight line path. - Conversely, when an object is projected at an angle (less than 90 degrees), it follows a parabolic trajectory. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion is true (the trajectory can be a straight line or a parabola based on initial conditions), but the reason is false (the trajectory shape is not determined by acceleration alone), we conclude that: - Assertion: True - Reason: False ### Final Answer: - The assertion is true, and the reason is false. ---

Assertion :- The shape of trajactory depends on the acceleration and intial condition of motion. Reason :- Trajectory of an object moving under a constant acceleration may be a straight line.

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

A : The relative acceleration of two objects moving under the effect of gravity, only is always zero, irrespective of direction of motion. R : The acceleration of object moving under the effect of gravity have acceleration always in downward direction and is independent from size and mass of object.

An object thrown at a certain angle to the ground moves in a curved path and falls back to the ground. The initial and the final points of the path object lie on the same horizontal line. What is the work done by the force of gravity on the object ?

Assertion : The position-time graph of a body moving uniformly is a straight line parallel to position-axis. Reason : The slope of position-time graph in a uniform motion gives the velocity of an object.

Buoyant force on an object completely immersed in a fluid does not depend on the density of the object. It would only depend on the weight of liquid displaced. If the vessel in which an object is immersed is accelerated then the pseudo force acting on the object in the frame of the vessel depends on the mass of the object. The direction of motion of an object relative to a vessel can be found by finding the resultant of buoyant force, the pseudo force, the gravitational force and any other force acting on the body. If in the previous problem the beaker was given a rightward acceleration then relative to the beaker the block will have a tendency to move :

Say Yes or No: a. Can an object moving towards north have acceleration towards south? b. Can an object reverse the direction of its motion even thouth it has reverse the direcleration? C. Can an object reverse the derction of its acceleration even though it continues to move in the same dirction? d. Average speed is the magnitude of average velocity e. At any instant of time. the directions of change in velocity and acceleration are differnt.

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.

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 At any instant the magnitude of rate of change of potential energy of the projectile of mass 1 kg is numerically equal to magnitude of a.v (where a is acceleration due to gravity and v is velocity at that instant) Reason The graph representing power delivered by the gravitational force acting on the projectile with time will be straight line with negative slope.
