Assertion: An object can have constant s...

Assertion: An object can have constant speed but variable velocity.
Reason: Speed is a scalar but velocity is a vector quantity.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Velocity direction changes keeping magnitude constant, velocity is said to be changed. But, for constant speed in equal time interval distances travelled should be equal.
