Assertion : If there is no external torque on a body about its centre of mass, then the velocity of the centre of mass remains constant. Reason : The linear momentum of an isolated system remains constant.

Assertion : The centre of mass of a body may lie where there is no mass. Reason : The centre of mass has nothing to do with the mass.

Assertion : When a bicycle is in motion, the force of friction exerted by the ground on the two wheels is always in forward direction. Reason : The frictional force acts only when the bodies are in contact

Assertion: The acceleration of a body down a rough inclined plane is grater than the acceleration due to gravity. Reason: The body is able to slide on an inclined plane only when its acceleration is greater than acceleration due to gravity.

Assertion: The equation of motion can be applied only if acceleration is along the direction of velocity and is constant. Reason: If the acceleration of a body is constant then its motion is known uniform motion

Assertion: Frection is a conservative force. Reason: Fraction does not depend upon mass of the body.
