The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Understand the Assertion** - The assertion states that "The distance and displacement both are equal when the particle moves in a straight line." - Distance is defined as the total path length traveled by an object, while displacement is defined as the shortest straight line distance from the initial position to the final position. **Step 2: Analyze the Reason** - The reason states that "In straight line motion, distance traveled = |displacement|." - This means that while moving in a straight line, the distance traveled can be equal to the magnitude of displacement, but it does not necessarily imply they are equal in all cases. **Step 3: Consider Examples** - **Example 1:** A particle moves from point A to point B in a straight line. If the distance covered is \( x \), then: - Distance = \( x \) - Displacement = \( x \) - Here, distance = displacement. - **Example 2:** A particle moves from point A to point B and then returns back to A. The distance covered is: - Distance = \( x + x = 2x \) - Displacement = \( 0 \) (since the initial and final positions are the same). - Here, distance ≠ displacement. **Step 4: Conclusion** - From the examples, we see that while the distance can equal the displacement in certain cases (like moving directly from A to B), it is not always true (like moving from A to B and back to A). - Therefore, the assertion is false, and the reason is also false. **Final Answer:** Both the assertion and the reason are false.
