Assertion : Linear momentum of a body changes even when it is moving uniformly in a circle.
Reason : In uniform circular motion velocity remain constant.

Options

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.

Answer

C

Explanation

In uniform circular motion, the direction of motion changes, therefore velocity changes.
As P = mv therefore momentum of a body also changes in uniform circular motion.
