The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the assertion and reason provided, we will analyze both statements step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Assertion The assertion states that "When a girl sitting on a swing stands up, the periodic time of the swing will increase." **Analysis**: - The periodic time (T) of a swing (or a pendulum) is given by the formula: \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} \] where \(L\) is the length of the pendulum and \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity. - If the girl is sitting, the center of mass of the system (girl + swing) is lower compared to when she stands up. ### Step 2: Understanding the Reason The reason states that "In the standing position of the girl, the length of the swing will increase." **Analysis**: - When the girl stands up, her center of mass rises, effectively reducing the length of the pendulum (swing) from the pivot point to her center of mass. - Thus, the effective length \(L\) of the swing actually decreases when she stands up. ### Step 3: Conclusion - Since the effective length \(L\) decreases when the girl stands up, the periodic time \(T\) will also decrease (because \(T\) is proportional to the square root of \(L\)). - Therefore, the assertion is incorrect (the periodic time does not increase) and the reason is also incorrect (the length does not increase). ### Final Answer Both the assertion and the reason are false.
