The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the assertion and reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that in a stationary compartment, if a physical fight occurs among passengers, the position of the center of mass (c.m) of the system will not change. - A stationary compartment means that it is not moving with respect to an external observer. 2. **Defining the System**: - We consider the compartment and the passengers inside it as a single system. - The center of mass of a system is influenced by external forces acting on it. 3. **Identifying Forces**: - The fight among the passengers involves internal forces. Internal forces are those forces that the particles of the system exert on each other. - In this case, the forces exerted by the passengers during the fight are internal forces. 4. **Applying the Principle of Conservation of Momentum**: - According to the principle of conservation of momentum, if no external force acts on a system, the total momentum of the system remains constant. - Since the compartment is stationary and the net external force is zero, the momentum of the system (compartment + passengers) remains unchanged. 5. **Conclusion on Center of Mass**: - Since the internal forces do not affect the motion of the center of mass, the position of the center of mass of the system will not change during the fight. - Therefore, the assertion is true. 6. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that the fight between passengers is an internal force. - This is also true, as the forces involved in the fight are between the passengers and do not involve any external influence. 7. **Relationship Between Assertion and Reason**: - The reason correctly explains the assertion. Since the fight involves internal forces, the center of mass remains unchanged. ### Final Conclusion: - Both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is a correct explanation for the assertion. ### Answer: - Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true, and R is the correct explanation for A. ---
