Assertion: When a car crashed head on into a heavy truck, the car experiences
Reason: Newton second law states that the change in momentum is equal to impulse

A

IF both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

B

If both assertion and reason are true 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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
According to Newton third law, both the vehicles experience the same magnitude of force and the same impulse. Therefore, the change in momentum for the car and the truck is same.
