JEE Main & Advanced Physics NLM, Friction, Circular Motion Question Bank Assertion and Reason

  • question_answer
                Assertion          :           The acceleration produced by a force in the motion of a body depends only upon its mass.             Reason            :           Larger is the mass of the body, lesser will be the acceleration produced.            

    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 :

                    According to Newton?s second law,             \[F=ma\Rightarrow a=F/m\]             For constant F, acceleration is inversely proportional to mass i.e. acceleration produced by a force depends only upon the mass of the body and for larger mass acceleration will be less.
