(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. (e) If Assertion is false but reason is true. 1. Assertion: A body can have acceleration even if its velocity is zero at a given instant of time. Reason: A body is momentarily at rest when it reverses its direction of motion. 2. Assertion: Two balls of different masses are thrown vertically upward with same speed. They will pass through their point of projection in the downward direction with the same speed. Reason: The maximum height and downward velocity attained at the point of projection are independent of the mass of the ball. 3. Assertion: If the displacement of the body is zero, the distance covered by it may not be zero. Reason: Displacement is a vector quantity and distance is scalar quantity. 4, Assertion: The average velocity of the object over an interval of time is either smaller than ‘or equal to the average speed of the object over the same interval. Reason: Velocity is a vector quantity and speed is a scalar quantity. 5. Assertion: An object can have constant speed but variable velocity. Reason: Speed is a scalar but velocity is a vector quantity. 6. Assertion: The speed of a body can be negative. Reason: If the body is moving in the opposite direction of positive motion, then its speed is negative. 7. Assertion: The position-time graph of a u negative slope. Reason: When the speed of body decreases with time, the position-time graph of the moving body has negative slope. rm motion in one dimension of a body can have 8. Assertion: A positive acceleration of a body can be associated with a ‘slowing down’ of the body. Reason: Acceleration is a vector quantity. 9. Assertion: A negative acceleration of a body can be associated with a ‘speeding up’ of the Ben: Increase in speed of a moving body is independent of its direction of motion. 10. Assertion: When a body is subjected to a uniform acceleration, it always move in a straight eaboas Straight line motion is the natural tendency of the body. 11. Assertion: Rocket in flight is not an illustration of projectile. 33Reason: Rocket takes flight due to combustion of fuel and does not move under the gravity effect alone. 12. Assertion: The average speed of a body over a given interval of time is equal to the average velocity of the body in the same interval of time if a body moves in a straight line in one direction. Reason: Because in this case distance travelled by a body is equal to the displacement of the body. 13. Assertion: Position-time graph of a stationary object is a straight line parallel to time axis. Reason: For a stationary object, position does not change with time. 14. Assertion: The slope of displacement-time graph of a body moving with high velocity is steeper than the slope of displacement-time graph of a body with low velocity. Reason: Slope of displacement-time graph = Velocity of the body. 15. Assertion: Distance-time graph of the motion of a body having uniformly accelerated motion is a straight line inclined to the time axis. Reason: Distance travelled by a body having uniformly accelerated motion is directly proportional to the square of the time taken. 16. Assertion: A body having non-zero acceleration can have a constant velocity. Reason: Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. 17. Assertion: A body, whatever its motion is always at rest in a frame of reference which is fixed to the body itself. Reason: The relative velocity of a body with respect to itself is zero. 18, Assertion: Displacement of a body may be zero when distance travelled by it is not zero. Reason: The displacement is the longest distance between initial and final position. 19. Assertion: The equation of motion can be applied only if acceleration is along the direction of velocity and is constant. Reason: If the acceleration of a body is constant then its motion is known as uniform motion. 20. Assertion: A bus moving due north takes a tum and starts moving towards east with same speed. There will be no change in the velocity of bus. Reason: Velocity is a vector-quantity.
