The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the assertion and the reason provided regarding projectile motion. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "In projectile motion, the vertical velocity of the particle is continuously decreased during its ascending motion." - This is true because as the projectile moves upward, it is acted upon by the force of gravity, which pulls it downwards. 2. **Analyzing the Vertical Motion**: - When a projectile is launched at an angle, it has both horizontal and vertical components of velocity. The vertical component can be expressed as \( V_y = V \sin(\theta) \), where \( V \) is the initial velocity and \( \theta \) is the angle of projection. - As the projectile ascends, the vertical velocity decreases due to the acceleration caused by gravity acting in the opposite direction. 3. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "In projectile motion, downward constant acceleration is present in the vertical direction." - This is also true. The acceleration due to gravity (\( g \)) is constant and acts downward throughout the motion of the projectile. 4. **Linking Assertion and Reason**: - The assertion is true because the vertical velocity decreases due to the constant downward acceleration (gravity). - The reason supports the assertion by explaining that the downward acceleration is the cause of the decrease in vertical velocity. 5. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. Therefore, the correct answer is that both statements are true, and the reason is the correct explanation for the assertion. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation for the assertion. ---

These questions consists of two statements each printed as Assertion and Reason. While answering these question you are required to choose any one of the following five reponses (a) If both Assertion and Reason arecorrect and Reason is the correct explanation of Asserrtion. (b) If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion. (c ) If Assertion is true but Reason is false. (d) If Assertion is false but Reason is true. Assertion In projectile motion, the rate of change in magnitude of potential energy of a particle first decreases and then increases during motion. Reason In projectile motion, the rate of change in linear momentum of a particle remains constant during motion.

Assertion In projectile motion, the angle between instanteneous velocity vector and acceleration vector can be anything between o to pi (excluding the limiting case) Reason In projectile motion, acceleration vector is always pointing vertically downwards. (Neglect air friction.)

Assertion: In projectile motion, the acceleration is constant in both magnitude and direction but the velocity changes in both magnitude and direction. Reason: When a force or accelration is acting in an oblique direction to the direction of velocity then both magnitude and direction of the velocity may be changed.

Assertion: In projectile motion horizontal velocity remains same but vertical velocity continously change Reason: particle strikes the ground with same vertical velocity with which the particle was thrwon in vertical direction.

Assertion: In the projectile motion projected boyd behave just like a freelty falling body. Reason: There is no change in linear momentum in projectile motion.
