The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that a body moving in a circle with constant speed has a constant angular momentum about the center of the circle. - For an object moving in a circular path, the angular momentum \( L \) can be expressed as: \[ L = m \cdot v \cdot r_{\perpendicular} \] - Here, \( m \) is the mass of the body, \( v \) is the constant speed, and \( r_{\perpendicular} \) is the perpendicular distance from the center of the circle to the line of action of the velocity vector. 2. **Analyzing Angular Momentum**: - Since the speed \( v \), mass \( m \), and the radius \( r_{\perpendicular} \) (which remains constant as the body moves in a circle) are all constant, the angular momentum \( L \) remains constant. - Therefore, the assertion is true. 3. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that there is a constant non-zero torque acting on the body. - Torque (\( \tau \)) is related to the rate of change of angular momentum: \[ \tau = \frac{dL}{dt} \] - Since we established that the angular momentum \( L \) is constant, the rate of change of angular momentum \( \frac{dL}{dt} \) is zero. 4. **Conclusion about Torque**: - If \( \frac{dL}{dt} = 0 \), then the torque \( \tau \) must also be zero. - Therefore, the reason provided is false because it states that there is a constant non-zero torque acting on the body, which contradicts our finding that the torque is zero. 5. **Final Evaluation**: - The assertion is true, but the reason is false. Hence, the correct conclusion is that the assertion is correct while the reason is incorrect. ### Final Answer: - Assertion: True - Reason: False
