JEE Main & Advanced Physics Gravitation / गुरुत्वाकर्षण Question Bank Assertion and Reason

  • question_answer
    Assertion          :           Earth has an atmosphere but the moon does not. Reason            :           Moon is very small in comparison to earth.

    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.

    E)             If assertion is false but reason is true.

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    If root mean square velocity of the gas molecules is less than escape velocity from that planet (or satellite) then atmosphere will remain attached with that planet and if \[{{v}_{rms}}>{{v}_{\text{escape}}}\] then there will be no atmosphere on the planet. This is the reason for no atmosphere at moon.
