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

  • question_answer
                Assertion          :           Friction is a self-adjusting force. Reason            :           Friction does not depend upon mass of the body.

    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: D

    Solution :

                    Only static friction is a self adjusting force. This is because force of static friction is equal and opposite to applied force (so long as actual motion does not start). Frictional force = mmg i.e. friction depends on mass.
