The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states: "A body is momentarily at rest at the instant it reverses the direction." - When an object is moving in one direction and then starts to move in the opposite direction, it must first come to a stop (velocity = 0) before it can change direction. This implies that at the instant of direction reversal, the object is indeed momentarily at rest. ### Step 2: Understand the Reason The reason states: "A body cannot have acceleration if its velocity is zero at a given instant of time." - This statement is incorrect. An object can have zero velocity at a specific instant while still experiencing acceleration. For example, when an object is thrown upwards, it momentarily stops at its highest point (zero velocity) but is still under the influence of gravitational acceleration acting downwards. ### Step 3: Conclusion - The assertion is true because a body does come to rest momentarily when it reverses direction. - The reason is false because a body can have acceleration even when its velocity is zero. ### Final Answer The correct option is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. ---

Can a body have acceleration without having velocity?

For a moving body at any instant of time

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 lift is ascending with decreasing speed". What are the directions of velocity and acceleration of the lift at the given instant.

"A lift is ascending with decreasing speed". What are the directions of velocity and acceleration of the lift at the given instant.

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.

A : It is not possible to have constant velocity and variable acceleration. R : Accelerated body cannot have constant velocity.

When the velocity of a body executing shm is zero its acceleration is not zero. Why?

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.
