Assrtion o (A) : A body may have velocity and displacement in the oppostie direction
Reason (R) : Velocity is distance travellled by the body in a unit time

A

A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation for A

B

A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation for A

C

A is correct but R is incorrect.

D

Both A and R are incorrect.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Velocity `=("displacement")/("time")`
The displacement and the velocity need not be in the same direction. Example: SHM
Hence, A is correct, R is incorrect.

Assertion: In S.H.M., the velocity and displacement of the particle are in the same phase. Reason: Velocity is the ratio of displacement to the time taken.

Assertion: The average speed of a body over a given interval of time is equal to the average velocity of the body in the same interval of time if a body moves in a straight line in one direction. Reason: Because in this case distance travelled by a body is equal to the displacement of the body.

The velocity v and displacement r of a body are related as v^(2) =kr , where k is a constant. The acceleration of the body is

The velocity versus time graph of a body moving in a straight line is as follows. The distance travelled by the body is 5 sec is

Calculate the displacement and distance travelled by the body in 5 s, from the adjoining velocity-time graph

The displacement of a body is given by 2 s= g t^(2) where g is a constant. The velocity of the body at any time t is :
